3.5/5 Rounded Up!
Love Overboard on paper has EVERYTHING i love: second chances, forced proximity, a man who's down bad for his girl. Ughhhh this book is SO hard for me to rate because I have such mixed feelings on OW drama.
Ember and Finn are meant to be, that is immediately known to everyone in their vicinity. 2 years after their break up, they're back in eachother's orbit as they film a reality show on a yacht charter cruise - except Finn didn't come alone. Now, stuck in close quarters (pun intended), Ember is reminder exactly why her Finn worked so well together.
I loved Ember and Finn so much. I love how they acted with one another and how HOT their tension was. The story of them finding their way back to each other is one of my favorite kind of set ups. Finn knows Ember best, her secrets, her pain points, what brings her joy. And none of that has been forgotten over the last two year. Finn and Ember ground each other in ways no one else can, and I loved watching them explore that. If you are not into OW - that is a HUGE part of this book. It was hard for me to look past at certain parts, even if I was rooting for Ember and Finn.
As a reality tv lover, this book also hit that topic perfectly. I truly felt like I was watching the show play out on TV. Sometimes in books it can come off as cheesey, but I was ready to see all the drama unfold. Nothing like jealousy and betrayal to get those ratings up.
Thank you Valentine PR for an eARC. All thoughts are honest on my own.
