Wow. Everything about this book was so DAMN GOOD.

The imagery, descriptions, and metaphors were so easy to get last in. These characters were so interesting and complex — and most of all the story was authentic in every way. I really loved the character development and plot. Priscilla Oliveras is one of my favorite authors now and I can't wait to read more from her.

I've read a recent string of average books and this one was just what I needed! I loved it.

Island Affair captivated me from the very beginning with such a beautiful cover (I’ve literally not stopped staring at it since I got it lol). The relationship between Sara and Luis was sweet, passionate and at times a little rocky with Sara being a very popular and outgoing social media influencer and Luis being a laidback type of guy.⁣

I liked that I could identify with both characters one way or another, especially with Luis and his Hispanic family! I loved seeing the character development that these two went through. This was a quick read for me since I really enjoyed Priscilla's writing style. It was flirty and witty at the same time, something that makes me love romcoms!⁣

If you are thinking about picking this up you will not be disappointed! This island escape read is perfect at any time of the year!

Jasmine Gillrory recommended this one in an NYT article. I made it 160 pages but I just could not get into this one.
