3.0. It was okay. I’ve read better romances. The pacing was strange, and I found a lot of the writing quite repetitive.

This book really hit exactly where I needed it to. I probably would have rated it closer to 5 stars if I had known what to expect going in. It is definitely not a romcom! It's more of an emotional romantic drama with some fun side characters. I really loved the setting and all of the islanders. I did not love the romance at the start, but the growth of both characters (separately and together) was incredible. The final sentence of the epilogue actually brought me to tears because of how emotionally invested I became. The book had a bit of a rough start, but it got much better the more of it I read. Cleo's journey was especially poignant to me because of where I am at in my own life. I think this was the book that I really needed to read right now.
