elenamulligan 's review for:

Swept Away by Beth O'Leary

4.5

---

I have such a soft spot for romance novels with bizarre premises like, let’s say, a one night stand on a house boat that gets lost as sea for 12 days? I was thinking it was gonna be a cutie low stakes novel but it pulled me in from the start and handled heavy topics like grief and identity so well. Wouldn’t call it a palette cleanser but it was such a joy to read. Chicken soup for the soup type vibe
