Interesting and well written. It was easy to identify and feel for the characters and the story flowed nicely. The setting in Maui was fun as a beach read and added a lightness to the book. 

I loved the friendships that Em and Finn had with the other characters and the emphasis placed on how important relationship and community is. I loved Em and how she developed. 

As someone who has my own health and autoimmune issues, it was nice to identify with the Em and some of the other’s with their T1D and Hyperthyroid struggles. Most books don’t offer that take on every day life so it was unique and added a great layer. 

I did find the beginning was a little confusing and reread it a couple times trying to figure out what was going on with all the characters/location initially. I still don’t really understand it, honestly, but maybe I just missed it, how Finn came to be there and why they were all living there in one place. It just would’ve been nice to have more context to the setting there. The character development was great throughout, but some of the setting there and elsewhere in the book lacked context in transitions or details. 

Thanks to the author for the advanced copy of this book. All opinions are mine.
