A review by thebookkech
Second Chance Vacation by Nicole Ryan

5.0

Spice to plot ratio: 30/70
Tropes: one bed, second chance, forced proximity, “get it out of our systems”

Here’s the cliff notes version of my review - if you want the full review head over to my TT where it’ll be posted today (Aug. 12th)

Genevieve:

•the embodiment of a strong independent woman
•didn’t NEED a man but wanted one
•funny alone and during banter with MMC
•encouraged body positivity
•realistic & relatable

Jackson:

•a literal gentleman
•endless cute quotes from his POV
•great friend but even better lover to Genevieve
•thoughtful
•maybe a teensy but obnoxious at first

My notes:

•love that the way they run into each other is actually plausible!
•the banter between all characters in this book is OUT OF THIS WORLD
•do I detect an enemies to lovers sequel???
•when will they realize you can’t just “do it once and get it out of your system”
•so easy to lose myself in this book
•WTFFFF HE JUST REGARDED PLEASURING HER AS A FEAST!?!
•Jackson is EVERYTHING and these other book boyfriends need to take notes
•if they don’t get a happy ending…
•okay but, Jackson is giving Josh Chen vibes and I’m not mad about it
