Sometimes even love is too heavy to float.
Jo is running away even if she can’t admit that to herself. Afraid of what the future holds, she’s looking for an escape and a chance to forget. Her soul is too heavy to float and she’s ready to let it all go and sink to the bottom.
Olly ran a long time ago. He’s remained on this little rock in the middle of the ocean for so long that the rest of the world has disappeared. Now he’s ready to leave the island and his past behind him.
She wasn’t looking for a holiday romance. He was ready for new adventures.
When these two lost souls collide, everything changes. Will Olly give up his future to be a part of hers? Could Jo forget the past and fall in love with the boy who smells like the ocean she’s so afraid of?
My Review 4 STARS
**My thanks to the author for providing me with a free copy for an honest review**
This story pulled me in. It has a hurd undercurrent in where it shows Jo overcoming her grief at her dead fiancee and with the depression that seems to have stopped her life since then along with the survivor grief.
Olly has been on an island for eight years, running from his own pain, which he has put behind him, he now has his goal and friends behind him.
When Jo and Olly meet on the island where Jo and her friend are spending the summer, Jo and Olly connect and are able to share things they thought impossible. They make each other feel better and Olly is brilliant at bringing Jo back to life and to a better version of her new self.
Both characters are strong, even if it does not seem so to them and they really compliment each other and put each other straight if needed, eventually to their own friends.
I really enjoyed this book and hope to read more from this author.
