This novel is set at a tropical marina where two estranged sisters, Denise and Helen, reunite to work on a luxury yacht. They team up to take down the yacht's owners, the family who ruined their childhood home. Oh, and a body shows up too—maybe connected, maybe not.

I had a blast with this book. The ensemble cast of characters was so much fun, especially Poppy, the fiancé of the rich family Denise and Helen are investigating. The characters and the imagery were great, but I did struggle a bit with the plot. I liked that some details were glossed over—I didn’t want to get bogged down in too much—but it was almost too streamlined. Even though I tried to just go with it, there were some plot holes that stood out. I think a bit more detail or less complexity in the plot would’ve made it come across more as humorous fiction.

This novel publishes June 24. Thanks @netgalley for the gifted advanced copy.

I really enjoyed Myers' debut novel, Excavations, so highly recommend reading that one while waiting for this one to publish!

SALTY has an intriguing premise of two estranged sisters who are forced together working on a yacht for the wealthy real estate family who ended up demolishing their childhood home. A risky romance, a dead body, and chaos ensues. A nice dash of suspense and commentary on working class working for the rich. I didn't particularly find myself caring about any of characters, so it felt more of a read to me rather than living in their world, but I can see others enjoying it.

3.5 stars rounded to 4.

Thank you to HarperVia and NetGalley for the arc in exchange for my honest review.

Okay this book was so funny! I loved the sister relationship and how it was portrayed. I love that they are total different but come together to take down the shady Falcon family. I loved all the multiple points of view. This book is very much about the rich vs the working class people. I loved that this book had it all- drama, mystery, murder, laughs, love. I think this is the perfect beach read for summer!

Wow! What can I say about Kate Myer’s latest novel, *Salty*? This sarcastic, hilarious page-turner feels like it could be the love child of John Oliver's wit, mixed with *The White Lotus*and *Triangle of Sadness.*

The novel is told from multiple points of view and revolves around two estranged, polar opposite sisters who reunite to take down the owner of a luxury yacht who has bought and ruined their childhood home. Readers also get to know the real estate moguls, the Falcons, their arrogant son, his naive but lovable fiancée, and the family's devious entourage.

Like *The White Lotus* or *Triangle of Sadness* you get beachy vibes that are beautifully interwoven with themes of working-class struggles versus wealthy patrons. This read is well-written, fun, and suspenseful especialy because of the play in time/sequence of events mixed with the multiple POVs.

I would love to buy this as an audiobook to experience the cast of characters and their hilarity. I thoroughly enjoyed this novel and would highly recommend it to others. Thank you to HarperVia and NetGalley for this perfect beach read! I definitely am going back to read Myers’ Excavations.
