Savannah, Cora and Bianca are going to spend a whole month at the beach together. Oldest sister Savannah has even managed to book the same beach house where they stayed every summer when they were growing up. And she has a list of things to do to re-create those good old days. Now the sisters have grown distant, and she hopes that she can use this time to rekindle their sisterly closeness.
And she has a secret she needs to share. Sometime. When the time is right.
Youngest sister Bianca has a secret to share too. But she tells her sisters right away. She’s getting married to the perfect guy, whom she’s been video calling for a couple of months. A great AI-enabled website matched them. Bianca doesn’t get the happy response she’d have liked from her older sisters, though. They’re skeptical and worried she’s just doing something else that won’t last, like her past schooling and job attempts.
Cora, for her part, is fine with spending time on vacation, though she’s not sure how it’s going to go being with her sisters for a whole month. Bianca is still Bianca, and Savannah is trying too hard. But she’s genuinely concerned about this impulsive engagement of Bianca’s, so she makes a bet with her. Bianca will set her up with someone on the same website, and Cora will give it a try. If it doesn’t work out, Bianca will reconsider her engagement.
Cora’s not too worried about this bet; she knows there’s no soulmate out there, and any man she’s paired with will end up walking away. She just has to endure a few dates for the sake of her sister. And when she’s paired up with the playboy of the small beach town they’re in, she’s extra confident she’ll win.
Of course, things don’t go quite as she expected, and the town playboy ends up being a lot more interesting and complex underneath his façade. And he doesn’t cut and run, so she’s in a sticky spot. What’s she going to do?
What Not to Do on Vacation is a pretty typical summer romance, an easy read to enjoy as you relax somewhere (or imagine yourself relaxing somewhere nice). The whole thing was pretty predictable, which isn’t of course unexpected in itself. I’m perfectly happy to read a fun, cute, predictable romance. This one was cute but nothing extraordinary. What is particularly nice, though, is that it is completely clean reading. No content to be concerned about. So I can definitely recommend this for any reader.
Rated: None. No profanity or name of Deity in vain, no sexual content except brief kisses.
