DID NOT FINISH: 26%

Loved FlatShare and have enjoyed others by this author but the plot of this is too far fetched and unbelievable for me. Maybe if I didn’t know a bit about boats, sailing on the east coast of the UK etc it would be more believable and I might have feared for their safety etc but I was just rolling my eyes.

Swept Away felt truly unique  in setting up its romantic story, something Beth O’Leary seems to thrive in (see also: The Flat-Share).  And while I did enjoy this story for what it was, the pacing felt a bit off.  On more than one occasion I felt myself asking “how can this audiobook still have XX number of hours left??”

Not my absolute favorite, but definitely a new take on the genre!
