This is the story of Olivia and Zach who met while vacationing in Positano, Italy. They fell in love instantly but when they returned home to California, all hell broke loose. It was all to do with their respective families.
It starts out as a sappy romance, a bit too cute. Then it turns convoluted and twisty and complicated after they come home. It’s a storm that Z and V (their “names” for eachother) have to weather. I actually ended up liking Z and V, though they almost become secondary characters due to all the family drama happening. Drama, never-ending drama! Think “soap opera”!
This story is about relationships, past and present. And, how the past can show up to haunt you many years later. It is a typical chick-lit story with a fair bit of substance. It is about forgiveness and moving forward. And the ending morphs into a Rom-Com….for a Hallmark movie.
It’s an entertaining read, easy read. It’s FUN! Perfect for the beach or poolside. Or, just sitting out on the deck, which is where I read it.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the Advance Readers Copy.
