I wish I was on the beach when I read this book! Island Affair is a fun and flirty romance novel. Both Luis and Sara had well-developed back-stories, and I thought Priscilla did a great job incorporating those back-stories into their budding relationship. I enjoyed watching the two of them fall in love, but I also enjoyed reading about how they navigated relationships with their individual families.
Although the book was fun and I really enjoyed the relationship between the main characters, I struggled to really dig in to the book because the premise of it is so unbelievable. What are the odds that they'd run into each other at the same part of the airport at the perfect time, and both agree to a week-long pretend relationship? Then again, romance novels aren't usually meant to be realistic.
I also found slight issue with the way Sara was described. When we were reading from Luis' POV, Sara was often referred to as "slim", but anyone who has knowledge of eating disorders knows that not everyone with an ED is slim––some EDs are characterized by weight gain.
Island Affair is a flirty, cute read with two charming and developed characters. A fun book if you're looking for an escape to the beach.
