Summary

Have you fallen for this international best-selling novelist's sizzling hot entrance into the world of romance?

It's the opportunity of a lifetime:

Feyi is about to be given the chance to escape the City’s blistering heat for a dream island holiday: poolside cocktails, beach sunsets, and elaborate meals. And as the sun goes down on her old life our heroine also might just be ready to open her heart to someone new....

The only problem is, she's falling for the one man she absolutely can’t have.

Enjoyed this very much

I really enjoyed this book. It was such an easy read/listen that I got lost in the story. I just enjoyed it all round.

I liked it

Overall very good. I enjoyed the plot, though I found the evolution of some relationships a little unrealistic. I’ll look out for more by this author for sure.

Complex relationships

Lust, life, death, grief and relationships…complicated and will captured in this story. Your emotions go up and down, and it’s difficult to predict what’s next. Life can be deep and complex…listen.

Everything A Contemporary Romance Novel Should Be

This was my first Akwaeke Emezi novel and it has acted, as the perfect introduction to this Author's work.

Contemporary, pacey and accurately observed in all aspects. Not to mention incredibly sexy in the best possible way. This is everything a contemporary romance should be. Although it has to be said, I found Feyi's final relationship choice questionable and problematic; to say the very least. Bahni Turpin's narration style was also a perfect fit for this Audiobook. Thoroughly enjoyable, and highly recommended!

A Must Read

I was introduced to this book and did not regret it. it provoked much discussion about morals, sexuality, expectations...It kept you reading throughout and the narration was good too. This is a sticky, spicy story. If you like messy relationships you will love this. Not your typical rom com.

So much potential!!

I loved this book mostly but hated the ending. I wanted more. It ended too soon. I was quite repetitive but I couldn’t believe when it ended.
