A Line in the Sand is a really cute, fluffy, not too deep kind of romcom perfect for summer. 

It’s the second book in the Turtle Beach-series, but it’s perfectly readable on its own. It does take place after book 1, so you will get spoiled for the ending of book 1 (but with this kind of romcom the ending is pretty predictable, so that wouldn’t bother me). 

It tells the story of Molly, who plays a mermaid at the Aquarium, and Max, who is the new director of the Aquarium. On his first day as new director, he fires Molly on the spot because the Aquarium has some financial troubles. The whole town/island then decides that Max is the villain. Now he has multiple problems; how is he going to save the Aquarium, get Molly ànd the town to like him. 

Molly also has some problems; how is she going to find another job? How will she tell her parents? And why is the man who fired her so damn hot? 

During the story we see Molly win Max over; she knows everything about the Aquarium and the turtle-hospital and he needs her to save the aquarium. They grow more and more together until their big saving-plan fails…

This was a cute story. There wasn’t much depth to the characters, but I don’t think of that as a bad thing. There was enough depth for me to care about Molly and her little doggo & to not like Max. 

The setting was also very cute. Turtle Beach sounds like the perfect summer getaway and I would love to see the aquarium and the turtles!

There were some funny side characters as well. 

The writing style is really fluent and the story moves at quite a fast pace, which makes it an easy and quick read. 

I also liked that we get a dual POV (both from Molly and Max). Allthough their relationship is an important part of the story, they don’t spend very much time together. Don’t expect any smutty scenes, because the most that happens in this book is some kissing (which was absolutely fine by me). I would have liked an epilogue though maybe with a little timejump. 

Don’t expect greatness from this book, but if you want an entertaining summer read with a lot of dogs, than this is the one for you.
