Thank you to Netgalley for providing an ARC of this for me! This is a story about Sarah, who is stuck in a love triangle between two guys she has met on her trip to Greece, which she took to find herself again after a break-up. At first, the book was super intriguing, because I couldn't wait to meet both of the "contestants" (so to speak) for Sarah's love. However, the story soon started to drag a little, with a lot of explanations and stream-of-consciousness paragraphs from Sarah's side which we did not really need. Additionally, I just could not get along with the characters; they were annoying at times and hard to root for. Firstly, I found it unfair that Sarah was leading both Josh and James on, and did not speak openly about her plans with either of them, but at the same time, she expected them to be 100% honest with her. Secondly, the same goes for Josh since he pretty much told Sarah to wait for him until he made up his mind, and when she didn't, he was angry at her. The only character who was honest from the beginning was James, and the reader, and also Sarah knew exactly what he wanted and where he stood. What I have to say, though, is that Sarah gets to travel to a lot of cool places, and especially if you have been to those places it's very fun to read about (Idk how many times I exclaimed "I have been there!" when she was in London). This is definitely a fun beach read which you can read in one or two days, but it isn't a book whose characters or story will stick with me.
