Spoiler alert?

Very nice read, a page-turner to me, honestly, and I enjoyed Cassie's journey of self discovery.
It was certainly not the ending I thought it would be. I don't know how I feel about it. I like that it was not conventional but I was expecting something more. James was a little different from his (not so) dreamlike surroundings; at the beginning it seemed too good to be true but I was happy that his romance with gradually-Hampton-addicted Cassie was going well. I thought maybe this has another turn, not so centered in a relationship that has difficulties because a traumatized father with issues doesn't want his son with a name being with a "commoner". And it did have much more than that: it wasn't the main theme, but I'm upset that it ended the way it did because of it. I guess it was just part of Cassie's journey at the Hamptons and it is fine, it makes sense from a bigger perspective.

This was so much fun! It really took me back to my bartending days, both the good and the bad parts.
