Where on earth was the flipping warning with this book? Who on earth let it get published with that title, cover, and review on the cover? And the back? Why was there no warning? Why did I think “paradise” would be a lovely summer read? Nope, nopity, nope. I was BAWLING! I’m mad that I didn’t see this coming and that I felt more for characters I only knew for less than 100 pages than the two main characters! BAWLING! The feels all hit at the end and I never recovered. The forty-ish pages after didn’t help! They kept the tears coming because I didn’t freaking RECOVER YET! For goodness sake, at least warn a reader before ripping their heart out and tears from their eyes. The beginning of this was slow, so slow I was considering taking a DNF. But I’m stubborn so I kept reading. Then I fell for Sadie and then Sadie and Felix. Ted could’ve been removed because he added as much flavor as a salt-free saltine. And then it happened. And then I BAWLED. Forget Lucas and Marin, I want my Sadie and Felix. I want to know that this isn’t a romcom and it isn’t “paradise.” If the writing of two characters in only 1/3 of the book made me loose it that much, then clearly this author has talent and the story is good, but freakin’ WARN A GIRL! 3.5⭐️, 1🌶, ⚠️😢😭💧🪣🌊

I probably wouldn’t have read it if I knew the sister was dying of cancer, but it was really good.

Love love loved this book! Did not expect it to make me cry like a baby from the cover and blurb, but it was so worth the heartbreak. The characters were so full of spirit and grit, the adventures were tantalizing, and the romance swoony. Will def recommend this to my romance loving and serious literature loving friends both.

Don't expect a romcom or beach read. Huge content warnings: cancer and grief. These are not incidental, they're half the story arc.
