Meet Me in Paradise by Libby Hubscher
3.0
I struggled rating this one, I'm settling for 3.5 because I did enjoy the author's writing and think there is real talent there, I just feel like this story was overdone.
To me, this cover and the label of romance novel is deceiving and played a major role in my disappointment in this book.There is very little romance (as in not enough), a little bit of paradise, and for the longest time I thought this may be the first romance I've ever read WITHOUT a happy ending! The plot felt unbalanced for romance, and maybe that's not a bad thing that strayed from the usual romance formula, except that it was a little heavy on the sad for me.
If I'm being nitpicky I felt the sister relationship was a little overdone. Like I get that you guys are best friends, but would you really think "what would my sister do" while kissing a hunky man on a tropical island? I hope not.
If you're still reading and you also enjoy smaller amounts of grief with lots of romance I suggest Float Plan by Trish Doller - just the right amount of cry.
