What is supposed to be an ideal week vacation on an island off Australia's coast turns into being stranded for six weeks. The Lees and the Kellys are only connected because their daughters are married. Amelia thinks she has found the one in James. And Matty and Parker are about to start a family. However, being stranded will force them to confront what they really want in life.

This was one of those books where it started out really good, got a little slow in the middle, and then ended on a faster pace again. I wish there had been more sense of time keeping throughout the book. One character would do something over a week and we didn't really see the other characters then. Even if it was just like a bold phrase at the start of each chapter, saying Week 1 Day 3 or something to that effect. It would've made that middle part a bit easier to navigate.

I received my copy from Netgalley in exchange for a honest review.

Things I loved:
- the queer rep was great, it was really refreshing to have an actual queer romance and queer characters instead of just, like, the best friend who is in one scene and they call that rep
- the multiple perspectives were so fun to read and showed a full scope of life changes and falling in love from different people at different times in their lives. it also showed that love doesn't have to be romantic- it is just as valid to find love in fishing, or dance, or boobooks as it is to find love in a woman
- THE DADS. OH MY GOD. Favorite part, perhaps?


Things I thought could've been done differently:
- the instalove was a lot for me, I mean, this was like ten days. I've fallen hard before but my god this was fast, it made it slightly not believable but I get that there's a timeline to their relationship, I just wish maybe it began a few weeks before.
- I wish the multiple perspectives were labeled more clearly, maybe it's just because I read this as an ebook that it was mildly confusing but once you start reading you know who it's about, I just like to see it clearly
- I'm greedy and wanted a little more spice, but that's just me


I really did enjoy this book a lot and would definitely recommend it, it was not your typical island romance and for that reason it earned points in my book!

There is a LOT of drama in this book. I think because the author was able to hit the right amount of characters, the drama from each point of view wasn't as overwhelming as it could have been. Be warned, this IS a family drama first and love story second. This is a cute and quirky romp on an island. It's dramatic, but not overly so. The island still has wifi. It's a great read.
