Got this from firstreads.The back-of-the-book summary says that this is a dark comedy, but since I found it neither dark nor funny, I have to start with that quintessential Gracie Allen line: I don't get it.
So I'm not sure what this book is, other than a romance with a little more depth that is generally present in that genre. All the characters have back stories. I didn't really get attached to any of them, but they also weren't offensive, and they each had something a little interesting about them. The writing style wasn't anything amazing, but it was straightforward and readable. It didn't get in the way. The book's somewhat likely to offend lawyers, but other than that, it's just a nice little read. I can't say that there's a lot to it, but if you're looking for something light and tropical, it's an option.
