I am -conflicted- about “Love, Lists and Fancy Ships”. I did like it but also I never found myself wanting to pick it up in those random 20 minutes I had to read that it I usually would if I was loving something.
Essentially the story is about Jo, a 19-year old Floridian who works on a private charter yacht. Over the summer, who two teenage nieces who recently lost their brother, come to visit her as she tries to finish a bucket list she made about turning 30. Of course while all this is going on, she is also falling for her new coworker/neighbor, Alex. There was just *a lot* going on.
One redeeming quality was I did get those romance butterflies when Jo and Alex FINALLY got together but it was very PG. just an entire book of investment for not a lot of payoff. Overall I just think it was trying to do too much and because of that nothing was intense.
