An easy and heart-warming romance, The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea is a fun read. Unfortunately, the ‘Devil’ himself really isn’t much of a devil at all. Maybe for a chapter. It’s clear from the off that Josh is just into Drew and that’s the reason for his standoffishness. He isn’t rude to anybody else. He’s just a guy. 

Drew’s backstory is painful and deep, and seeing her take charge of her life throughout this book was really great. She was the backbone of this story, for sure, and deserves the world. I’d be inclined to call her manager the Devil here, but he wasn’t in Hawaii so I guess it doesn’t work.
