A love story for Cozumel
What I loved most about this book was how deeply the author clearly loves Cozumel. The island doesn’t feel like just a setting. it feels alive. Adrienne Baerny writes about it with so much warmth and respect that you can practically feel the ocean air and hear the rhythm of daily Island life. It’s like she’s inviting you into a place she knows by heart. The way she describes the people, the pace, the hidden corners of the island you can tell she really understands and cherishes the true spirit of Cozumel, not just the tourist version. The island actually ends up being a huge part of the main character’s emotional journey, almost like it’s guiding her. If you love stories where the setting matters just as much as the plot, this is one of those books; just be prepared find yourself booking a flight to the island.

Fun Beach Read
The author paints vivid pictures of the characters and locations. I can’t wait to hear what happens in Book 2.
