What do you do after the life you planned for yourself goes completely off the rails? You get on your deceased fiance's boat ready for a sail around the Caribbean obviously. Anna is going through a lot, she doesn't know what to do with her life anymore and she feels lost. The least she can do is complete this trip in her fiance's memory. But when she starts and realizes how difficult it's actually going to be, she hires a guide.
This really just made me want to drop everything and buy a sailboat. But really only if I could meet an Irish guide with besties on every island. The progression of their relationship was *chef's kiss*. When characters are dealing with trauma, it's difficult to know how they'll lash out or if they'll even properly handle their emotions before jumping into a relationship. This book handles it all very nicely, there's no insta-love but there's definitely insta-companionship that runs a lot deeper than any kind of attraction. It's amazing and I know they're fictional characters but they manage to be exactly what they need in their respective lives.
The only problem that I would have is that I wanted more content. It was a super short book and I think we could've all dealt with an extra hundred pages to lay down stronger foundations into both their personal lives and maybe even an epilogue. Again, it's a fantastic book that was super cute and wholesome and I'd totally recommend it but I was just desperate for more.
