When on holiday…

definitely looking like a 4 star read but enjoyable nonetheless! tension is great just some awkward dialogue every now and then. every time one of them says “fuck” or “fuck me” as an expression, the other says “that’s the plan” or something goofy. pls stop 🙏

riley’s tension is superior

thought it fitting to read a book set on a cruise while i myself am on one… but oof this one had a bit of a rough start. hope it gets better. usually with riley, what she lacks in written flair, she makes up for in electric character interaction but we’ll see.

Now we meet Lexie, the other heroine. She and Zara, her BFF, share a one-room cabin on the cruise ship; they've lived together for 5 years. Lexie is a slob; she's spent the entire time leaving her dirty clothes on the floor instead of in the laundry hamper.

This isn't a good start.
Charlotte is boarding a cruise ship. It was going to be her honeymoon, but the wedding was canceled; she caught her ex cheating. Charlotte snaps at Angela, an employee, for greeting her as "Mrs." and with her ex's last name. She didn't change the reservation, but it's apparently Angela's fault. Charlotte's internal monologue repeatedly describes Angela as a Barbie, plastic, and unrealistic.

wow

This chapter reminds me of Georgia Beers' "Dance With Me"... Hot stuff, SENSATIONAL.
