Well. That was disappointing.

When I first spotted this book two summers ago, the cover lured me in, enticing me with thoughts of Pina Coladas and illicit affairs. I finally indulged my inner fantasist and picked this up, looking forward to a short 288 pages of wanton women and sexy times. I was in for a bit of a shock, but not in a good way.

The story takes a very long time to build, and when we finally get somewhere, I was left feeling underwhelmed. I struggled with this read, often wanting to DNF it, but ultimately trudging through it to see how it was going to end, and hoping for a grand finale that never came.
