This is on me -- I saw three people on the cover and expected a Why Choose instead of a Love Triangle which is not my usual jam
That said, I still enjoyed it!
The main takeaway is that people who work entertainment on a cruise ship are extremely horny
Like, EVERYONE is hooking up
And yet the book felt like it was barely open door (by which I mean more flowery language than I expected)? Which is fine, just not what I expected once the whole "everyone is hooking up" set up came to be
THERE WAS SO MUCH VOMIT TALK IN ONE SCENE THAT IT MADE ME NAUSEOUS. Literally had to set the book down.
Loved the romance between Eliza and Oscar. Loved the friendship between Eliza and Tom when they were acting like proper friends and not considering romance.
