Thank you to Netgalley, the author and publisher for the advance copy.

This is my first book by JP Delaney but it won't be my last.

The story starts with Finn and Jess discussing how to deal with the legalities of their father's death and their now ownership of the finca in Mallorca. Finn ends up travelling to Mallorca and winds up staying for reasons to be discovered.

I adored the characters in this, constantly guessing where the story was going and I didn't see the ending twists coming. Great read for summer. I imagine this will be around the pool on lots of holidays.

4.5 stars.

I feel like this book was trying to tell us it was mysterious without showing that it was mysterious.
The plot twist was incredibly obvious and the ending was lacklustre.
