I didn't enjoy this book as much as the previous two in the series but it was still a really lovely read. Megan’s writing is always exceptional so the book didn't disappoint on that front.
The characters were great but I just didn't connect with them as much as I had with Justin and Landry or Colin and Riley from the previous books. They didn't seem to have the same level of chemistry or emotional connection.
The situation that J.R. found himself in was absolutely awful and I really felt for him. No one should ever be forced to pretend to be someone they're not and I can only imagine how heart-wrenching it would be to have to live a lie like he did, but I kind of felt like J.R.’s storyline kind of overshadowed Quinn’s. His experience in his past relationship was really horrible but it came across in the story as a little less important than J.R.’s issues.
I've seen a few other reviews mention that the characters seemed a little more immature in this book than the previous ones and I can totally see where they're coming from. You have to keep in mind though that the major plot line is that they're aboard what is essentially a party ship for a week while a reality TV show is filmed, so naturally the story is filled with an awful lot of drinking, silly adolescent games, and sex. I expected all of this as I went into the story so, for me, it wasn't a let down.
I did still enjoy this instalment to the series very much despite these little gripes and I loved catching up with the other couples briefly at the end. I would still recommend this to fans of the series or just people looking to try out a sweet M/M romance (all the books can be read as standalones but it's nice to read them in order so you can connect with all the characters).
