“Few things are certain in this world, except that nothing is.”
I thought it would be a nice, cute, summer-themed romance because of how summery the cover was but I found myself bawling my eyes out in the middle of the night while reading this. Even though it made me cry my eyes out it also gave me hope and laughter in between. This book is about love, family, second chances, taking risks and the loss of a loved one.
This made me google about Saba and transported me to a lovely island. It reminded me of one of the islands that I went to where locals knew everyone, so warm and welcoming to everyone. There is something magical when visiting an island, it changes your perspective in life and grounds you.
I found most of the characters to be likeable and relatable. That made me love this book. I just adore how badass Sadie and Laurentina are. Lucas Tsai, oh my gooodnessssss you handsomeeeeee dude!!!!! I love his humor and how much he cares about other people. I found myself relating to Marin as well, all her fears, her overthinking, never taking risks and I love the character development at the end. I just want to give Marin a hug at some point.
