“Finally, he spoke. “Everything all right?”
“Was this meant to be his inquiry about the death of my mother? This simple question that could just be as well be about the weather? For the first time, instead of concern over how he perceived me, I began to feel deep disappointment in Archie. Even anger. “Is what alright?” I needed to make him say the words aloud, to stop pretending.”

“How could my beloved mother be gone? I could not envision my life without her constant, reassuring presence,whether in person or in word. I’d involved her in every one of my decisions, events, and ideas; how could I proceed without her guiding hand? It was then I realized the comfort I longed for from Archie was actually the solace that only my mother could have provided.”

Chapter 33 was a good one; shows the real breakdown between Agatha and Archie. Good quotes too.

Not a big fan of the writing quality in chapter one. However, I do like that the big reveal already happened, similar to The Island Villa.

The book was a slow start, but it picked up. Really enjoyed a lot more than I had anticipated. Funny quotes -

I think this series is better than Ruinous Love, and I love both readers. I'm glad the women who was "Lark" is doing Harper's voice. And I've listened to his voiceover work from the second F1 series book.

Better than the first book.

I liked Prof Pat’s chapter.

Not bad, interesting twist on who the Sea Witch is.

So much more emotion that anticipated. Wish I could read over for the first time again. Three new book boyfriends. Reread a few passages. Wish I was able to highlight on the Kindle.

Waited since 11/20/24 for this and didn’t live up completely. The middle section of the book was repetitive and stalling. Good twist at end.
