Here’s the problem. I knew I wouldn’t like this book from the beginning because HE’S MARRIED. And he wants to be married. He still loves his wife. And yet this is supposed to be a romance….ugh. Im just so over books making infidelity and divorce so glamorized. I just can’t. 

And here’s why. Because as the book goes on, I start (and am supposed to start) rooting for them….
BUT HE IS MARRIED!!!!!
And I’m not okay with that. Absolutely not okay. 

And then, come to find out wifey still loves him too. And has second thoughts. 
This is what people do in marriage way too often. They think it’s over without putting in the work. When I’m fact they could have worked it out. If neither of them had gone off in to other relationships. 

So all the rest of the book, the sweet island and friends, his relationships with his kids, all of Kate for naught because he’s married and he should really be turning right around and going back to his wife.

Also, I don’t understand the title because it is WAY more than one night on the island.
