A beautiful and romantic tale by the incomparable Beth O’Leary! If you are looking for a story that will literally sweep you off your feet, look no further!

This book is an absolute treasure! The premise of Zeke and Lexi being stranded at sea together after a one-night stand sets the stage for a beautifully crafted story about unexpected connections and personal growth. The way their initial spark transforms into something deeper is so well done, each revelation brings them closer, and I loved watching their chemistry develop against the stunning backdrop of the open sea. The pacing is spot-on, balancing the tension of their situation with tender, intimate moments that had me rooting for them from the start. O’Leary's writing is engaging and relatable, capturing the magic of falling in love in the most unexpected circumstances. Overall, this is a delightful, feel-good read that I simply couldn't put down!

I am honestly surprised at how much I enjoyed this. It was an easy to read romcom with some serious undertones that were written very clever, in a way that isn’t super intense but also still leaves you feeling

beth o'leary's previous books have not worked for me but i was eager to give her another chance. unlike the previous installments, this one was sp much better— not the best— but so freaking better!

thankyou netgalley for the arc. all opinions are my own!
