5⭐️ I loved this book so much. I didn’t want to put this book down because it was just so good. This is a perfect summer read because this takes place during a vacation to Hawaii.

Empowerment
Wanting the best for each other
Wanting each other
It took a few chapters for this to get going but then I was into my usual ease and escapism I always get with O'Roark's books. The set up for the vacay at the start of this book was quirky but believable and started a foundation of family as the backdrop to the MCs' stories.
Drew was so disempowered despite her fame (or rather infamy), I found it hard to read how trampled on and misunderstood she was. The fact that Josh could see it, hated it and advocated for Drew to gain more control was like catnip in this relationship. The fact that Drew and Josh were in an enemies stance for the first half was quite a delicious addition to the recipe.
Six was a complication of irritation. Josh's mum was lovely and every other family member, both Josh's and Drew's were awful. It felt like Drew had no one on her side but all she really needed was the mass of Josh as her backup and cheer team.
This story went from Hawaii to the US, to Somalia and some Eurpean cities in between. Josh's work was frankly quite frightening and it was hard to see how this would all turn out. I felt 100% satisfied in the end.
I have a feeling I'm going to devour the next two quick smart.

Sometimes you feel trapped and there's no way to not just continue living an unhappy life.
And maybe that's not what this book is about.
