I really loved this story, which though in some ways and a sweet rom com, in other ways a raw look at grief and how it affects people differently. Loved the relationships of all kids- family, friends, friends-to-lovers, and the unique & special connection between aunt and nieces. Loved the setting as well. Also: Hot Yacht Chef/Hot Dad- need I say more? 😆

Thanks for checking out LOVE, LISTS, AND FANCY SHIPS, my debut Women's Fiction/Contemporary Romance novel! Not sure this book is for you? Here's a list of what you can expect:

I consider this book a hybrid of Women's Fiction and Romance. There are two central plots: the romance and Jo's emotional journey. The romance has a traditional romance arc with a happy ending.

Grief is a central aspect of the book. If this will be harmful to you, please avoid.

If you love Below Deck, I've included some Easter Eggs just for you!

Moderate profanity (including f-bombs). Slow burn. Low steam. 

Funny, but not a rom com. I hope it'll make you laugh in a "best friend getting you to laugh after a long cathartic cry on their shoulder" sort of way.
