Escape With Me is the first book I have read from Kristen Proby and probably will be my last.

I decided to read it for the unexpected pregnancy trope (I’m not even sure it’s there), but it was not for me. It felt more like reading a short story than a book for how fast everything happens.

 

Izzy runs away from her marriage, and the same night she’s already working as a waitress, meaning she’s got on the island and instantly got the job (not realistic IMO).

Apart from that day, she doesn’t receive calls or messages from anyone from her past life. Randomly, one day, her mother turns up at the pub, and, during the fight, Izzy blurts out that she was cheated on and abused (*completely out of nowhere*).

 

I kept reading, hoping it would slow down, but everything just felt too rushed.
