Thank you NetGalley and St. Martin Press for an ARC in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are mine.

This is a romance book told from Poe’s perspective.

Poe is talkative, emotional, witty and always making jokes. She wonders if she’ll be a one hit wonder. Zwe is Poe’s beta reader and he helps his parents run their bookstore. He tends to be logical and methodical.

The story follows Poe and Zwe trying to make it safely off the island, while working through their issues, both with each other and within themselves.

I really loved the first half to three quarters of this book, but certain plot points at the end were a little nonsensical for me to enjoy. I can’t explain without major spoilers. I do appreciate the conversations around gentrification the story brought though.

Overall, I give this a 4 out of 5 stars. I really love the beginning of the book, and to me, it made up for parts in the end that I didn’t like. The book ends in happily ever after, so I get why some things happen as they do.
