Did not finish book. Stopped at 22%.
Really not loving this - these characters are a little too self-righteous for me and it’s a bit too intense.

A fun and mindless mystery if you feel like reading about summery, beachy destinations. Had a few tropes I don’t love but fun enough to pass the time on audio.

This was a fun Christmas read, but the romance was a bit too intense for my taste being such a short, fast-paced read.
