I didn’t like this as much as some of her other books, but it was a fairly engaging summer read. A ridiculous but entertaining premise, although the big “coincidence” near the end was so far fetched.

this was alright. really intriguing premise for a romance—a one-night-stand turns into a story of survival when the couple gets lost at sea together. i liked that this went outside the lines of a traditional romance plot—though it did seem like the two always had what they needed (food, in particular).

i can’t say i loved Lexi or Zeke—they were okay MCs, but the insta love didn’t have me fully convinced. i also feel like Lexi’s attachment to Mae felt off—a little too dependent? idk. i thought the twist at the end was dragged out for too long and i almost lost interest, but was ultimately happy with where it ended up.

not my favorite story but I’m glad i read it!

This was disappointing as I liked her other books so much. This one was boring and I never connected to the characters.

Genuinely, what? Not sure this book knows what it is. Is it a romance or a thriller? Am I supposed to want what's best for the couple or intense therapy?
