Well, I hold my hands up, the BookTok girlies were right when they said this was a great romance book!

This is the first romance book I’ve ever read, being a solid thriller/mystery/crime/historical/literary fiction reader and I was bracing myself for another overhyped TikTok recommendation. I’m happy to admit I was pleasantly described at just how much I enjoyed reading this book. 

Whilst it’s not a page turner in the sense of page turners in thrillers for example, it definitely has a gripping plot that will have you feeling all of the feels. I like that there were a couple of different strands of storyline, each of which captured my interested and towards the end especially had me shocked with surprise. 

Overall a great, easy romance read, especially if you’re going on holiday/vacation or even if you need a palette cleanse!
