A good summer read! I liked the big family dynamics and the setting. The romance was cute but a bit rushed, I think. 
The amount of Taylor Swift references made me feel like I was reading in a secret language.

I wasn't sure I'd like this or not since straight romance can be a little hit or miss for me but since I read this author's work before, I gave it a shot and I'm happy I did.

This was so cute and wholesome and the perfect summer read/beach read.  It gives the best vacation kind of vibes too.  The detail that was put into the setting was done so well.  While this was really lighthearted and fluffy it still dealt heavily with grief with the MC and her working through the loss of her sister all the while having to be back to a place that brought up old memories.  This was written really nicely.

Overall, if you want to read about a wholesome family playing assassin while at their vacation home for a family members wedding then I suggest this for you.

this book is five stars in the sense that i connected to it so much, not because it’s literacy is that of five star perfection. 

  • in general, i love assassin-plots and games like that in general. (i’d rec today tonight tomorrow by rachel lynn solomon if you want something with another assassin game plot)
  • the taylor swift references !!!!!!!! i just love taylor swift sm
  • i loved all the characters. especially sarah. these were all good characters that were interesting to connect to, however they did fall a bit flat 
  • i feel like the whole luli thing wasnt really closed ??? i mean it was but it felt… just… ////? ya know?
  • something about this book was so easy to get lost in, and with summer coming up it fell into the vibe and i adored it
  • also, the injury on the ferry was not taken to the best possible advantage later in the story
  • also just i love mer 🫶🫶🫶
