Thanks to NetGalley, William Morrow and Meg Cabot for the opportunity to read and review her latest book. I'm typically a fan of Cabot's books but this one was just okay. 3.5 stars - I'm intrigued enough that I'd like to read the next book in this series.
Bree escapes NYC after the death of her father, a fallout with her mother and a sexual assault by her boyfriend's best friend that no one but her took seriously. She flees to Little Bridge Island, part of the Florida Keys, to heal and start fresh. But she is totally unprepared for a category 5 hurricane bearing down on the island. While most flee for safer ground, Bree is adamant about staying put, although she eventually takes shelter at her boss' mansion complete with whole house generator. Bree undertakes a mission to rescue all the pets that were left in homes when their owners evacuated not knowing that the bridge would fail and they couldn't get back home. Meanwhile, sparks fly with the boss' nephew, Drew.
There wasn't a lot of depth to the characters and the ending felt a bit too contrived but still a fun escapism read.
