The character development was great. After Daisy is dropped from her show, she is trying to prove that she has what it takes. And Johnathan Island seems to have what she needs. Until she gets there and finds that the $1 home program isn’t going on anymore. Running into an old acquaintance, Hunter. Hunter is working through his family's past of the Bad Luck Barretts. He is also dealing with the hurt felt by the deception from Daisy and her ex-boyfriend, and ex-co-host.
The setting is perfection. I have really come to love Jonathan Island and the people on it. The storyline is great. We have the Barrett house, which is passed down from generation to generation, and Hunter has his sights set on inheriting the house, but there is a stipulation in the trust that you must be engaged or married by your 31st birthday. Daisy needs a project to help save her career. When they run into each other and come up with the fake engagement, the plan seems to be working. The renovation is going along great, the YouTube show is gaining traction, but then things start to unravel. Hunter’s dad’s health has taken a hit, the family company needs some more hours put in to keep things going, and then the day the fake engagement all comes to light, thanks to the help of ex-co-host and ex-boyfriend. Things have gone completely wrong. When Hunter decides to go to his mom’s wedding, it is his new stepdad who sheds some light on the truth. Sometimes our plans don’t work out, but God’s do.
The fake engagement, second-chance romance between Daisy and Hunter is perfection-sweet and kisses-only romance.
Sarah May Warren did a great job intertwining faith throughout the book. Reminding us that God, “If you want to make God laugh, just tell Him your plans.” My mom used to have a plate with that on it. It’s a great reminder that even though we can have plans, ultimately, things could change.
