Mixed thoughts and feelings about this book. I really wanted to like it because I'm part Ecuadorian and while the plot was strong many other elements fell flat. At times the characters were predictible and at others they were fully fleshed out and surprised me. I was waiting for a spicy scene but it was fade to black which personally I find boring. I like the author's message about ecotourism and the awareness the book brought to the Galapagos. The ending was pleasing. A lovely but unfortunately forgetable book.

I'm obsessed with this book. Everything about this resonated with me and I loved every second of it. It's been a long time since I read a book I didn't want to put down, and this book fit that bill perfectly. 

As much as I love romance plots, I don't read many books from that genre and I find that I can be picky. This book checked every box for me. 

This follows our main protagonist, Henley Rose Evans, a 20 year-old who works for a cruise company in the marketing department. She's incredibly driven and eternally stressed out and is up for a promotion. The problem? Her incredibly irritating and good-looking co-worker Graeme is also up for promotion, and Henley will do everything she can to beat him. In the meantime, Henley's sister Walsh is also in town unexpectedly. They all end up going on a cruse to the Galapagos and things kind of go from there. 

I couldn't put this book down. From the writing, fun plot and fantastic and relatable characters, it just really resonated with me. Henley and Graeme's whole relationship arc was fantastic and I can see myself in both of the characters in various ways. I adore them both so much. The backdrop of the cruise was also delightful and I loved getting to visit the Galapagos in this. The themes and topics explored were also great: climate change, ecotourism, sexism in the corporate world, harsh judgement when you don't know a person, abusive relationships...all explored in a very poignant way. 

All in all, a fantastic read and one I'll definitely reread in the future.

This book was very light, but had both work and romantic plot lines. I didn't feel very invested in the characters personal or professional story lines. Would be a good vacation read!

Probably the single most white feminist novel I've ever read, but still super fun!

This was much better than I expected going in. It felt like a complete, fully fleshed out story. Sure, it may have gotten a little fluffy with the HEA at the end, but the enemies to lovers dynamic was fantastic, and the fluff was not so unrealistic as to bother me. I will definitely try more of this author's work in the future.
