This was a true beach read. For the genre, which I generally find simplistic and not stimulating, this book followed suit. I did appreciate that the protagonist was a writer accused of writing beach reads with a bit of self-deprecating sarcasm. I also appreciated the plot, which depicted a wellness adventure gone wrong, since reading this parallels my own deep journey into mindfulness meditation. Sometimes, just as we might watch “light” TV, we reach for something light to spend time leisurely, without asking much of the brain. This fit the bill.
