Reviews with content warning for Cancer - Meet Me in Paradise

This book was pretty much the definition of "fine." The FL was given a lot of exploration but the ML was so one note it was disappointing. He had next to 0 personality which I didn't understand. His only aspects were rich and mysterious which .. really aren't traits.

the fact that Sadie dies was a) not surprising but b) not the emotional impact I believe the author wanted. Also the FL was just like "welp I guess I'll move on with my life!" And that was that. Definitely a bizarre act III that felt like a hastily written hallmark movie

I was expecting a lighthearted romance and that's not at all what this was. The whole premise kind of annoyed me and I thought the ending was rushed. It wasn't terrible though.

Marin lives a sheltered life after her mom was killed while on assignment as a journalist. She takes care of her little sister and doesn't leave Tennessee. But then her sister sends her to the Caribbean island of Saba. This book is deceptive by the cover - it's a book about grief and loss, leaning more towards women's fiction than romance. Be sure to read the content warnings! For me it was just too sad for my mood, but the writing was well done.

🏝Beautiful island escape, handsome hotel owner, and an emotional adventure…

You will need a box of tissues by your side when reading. 🗳 This book had me laughing 😄, swooning 😍, and crying 😭. I loved every minute of it. 💖🥲 It’s a beautiful journey of self discovery and the heartbreaking truth of why there is a journey in the first place. 💔

This story is about Marin who has never taken a risk living life in the safe zone. When her wild younger sister surprises her with a weekend sister’s trip to a tropical island. 🌺 Marin is shoved out of her comfort zone once she finds out her sister isn’t coming…
