Synopsis

This rom-com debut has the fierce girl energy of the movie Booksmart, blended with the awkwardness of Kelly Quindlen’s Late to the Party, topped with a thrilling international meet-cute a la Love and Gelato.Olivia Schwartz has a plan. It’s even color-coded.And the plan is this: a perfect SAT score, a prestigious college, and a straight path towards her dream of becoming a doctor.The last thing she wants to do—the summer before her senior year of high school, no less—is go on a cruise. Especially with her parents, younger brothers, and all the unspoken things between them since her older brother’s death so many years ago.Then Olivia meets Sebastian. He’s everything she’s not: charming, exciting, willing to take risks and run with them. For the first time, Olivia feels like she can have fun...But there’s a lot bubbling up under the surface on this cruise, and when past secrets begin to come to light, Olivia must face all the truths that she’s ignored for so long: about herself, Sebastian, her brother, the past she thought she understood, and the future she’s always planned.

Goodreads review by Tiffany on April 04, 2024

This story has a sweet charm while exploring some thought-provoking/heavier themes. However, I must admit that it didn't quite resonate with me. Although the idea behind the plot was intriguing, the way the different storylines were developed and presented did not work for me.......more

Goodreads review by Ellie on February 01, 2023

4.5 stars. *SPOILER WARNING* (I'm not including spoilers for no reason, more of just an actual warning for anyone who wants an actual romance book). I went into this book expecting a cute, light at-sea romance (like One True Loves did) and ended the book crying. I haven't cried at a book in months, an......more
