First of all, this book is so heartwarming, such a treat! I loved both characters (even though Thomas drove me a little bonkers) and I think that the romance was super cute. The different islands and the reality TV setting were a really fun touch, and as a fan of Olivia Dade’s other books, the Tess cameo and Renaissance Island made me super happy!

Most of my issues of this book come from the fact that it’s a novella, which doesn’t feel fair. I usually love a novella, but in this particular case it just felt like something was missing? Things moved just a little more quickly than I would’ve liked? I really liked the set up that the author provided for conflict between Callie and Thomas, but because it all had to be handled within nine chapters, it just didn’t feel like enough of a resolution to be as believable as her usual books.
