Few books make me laugh but I always appreciate good banter. I loved these characters and did giggle a couple times. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Early reviews of this book were not great and I was NOT going to read it. Then #TOB25 had to go and put it in the tournament so I begrudgingly put it on hold, figuring I might still skip it. I took a little bit to settle into it (not sure I would have made it through in print with my bad attitude) and…I really liked it. Sure showed me!
I‘m all over the map on this book. Here are my random thoughts:
1. Don‘t listen to the audiobook. Apparently you can‘t tell that there is a section of the narrative that is in italics which is an important feature of the story. (At least that‘s what Reddit readers said.)
2. It took me forever to get into it and I really had to push to finish it.
3. You have to finish it. But it will give you a headache.
4. The ocean is magical. AI sucks.
I read this with my online book club, https://thereadingloft.groups.io/g/main. The theme was a love story seeing as it‘s February/Valentine‘s Day. I very much enjoyed it. It wasn‘t a conventional love story but I thought it was very perceptive and insightful. I‘d already seen the Netflix series so knew how it ended but I still cried! 😢. A moving and engaging story.
