It was pretty predictable, but I liked the story and the characters.
The characters were relatively true and relatable. Good relaxing read

This was entertaining but I missed the Aruba connection which I liked in his other books. I think this would appeal to men more than women.

Daniel Putkowski is a hidden gem. I've read his other books, and this one is on par with them. A very good read. I only wish, Daniel would publish new books more frequently!

An entertaining read perfect for the beach. The author knows the Philadelphia (or most anywhere) bar scene, but the choice of musical taste is off target.( "The Doors"?) But it is an overall good book.
