Seaworthy by K.L. Noone
3.0

I enjoyed this one, though not quite as much as I was hoping. It's a veeeeeery slow burn, and it's quite an introspective novel, neither of which are issues for me, but I did find it a little overly long and drawn out. I like the characters and their connection, but Colby is really quite damaged and it was occasionally a bit exhausting to be in his head, particularly given the length and said introspection. The concept of the movie was interesting, though occasionally it did feel a little self-indulgent and fanfic-y, to the point of throwing me out of the story with the actual 'scenes' they were filming. There are also many times where the POV switches in the middle of a section without a scene break, which I really dislike--it wasn't awful, but definitely felt a bit messy.

Still, I did like the characters and concept, and I am definitely curious to read the next book in the series. This ends with a HFN, so it didn't feel unsatisfying, but it's clear their story isn't done yet.
