Who hasn't wanted to take their hands off the wheel of life sometimes and just let go? Have you ever actually DONE it or even contemplated just how you might do it? Yeah, me neither...but Melissa gets that very chance and thanks to her enabling yet interfering boss, she'll stick to the approved plan to the letter. What plan? Oh, that...no technology for a FULL MONTH, meaning her dateless connection lacking life has to be built up through old-fashioned means. Remember handwritten notes, and letters? Remember actually paying someone a visit as opposed to tagging them on social media? Those were the days...or so I'm told. Hey, I'm not THAT old. Cell phones may not have been everywhere in my youth, but they did exist!

If you're thinking, woe is me, think again. While it's true, not everything is sunshine and roses for her as she starts out, and the lack of ability to update others in an instant definitely adds its challenges, the end result of her social/work experiment may garner a different ending than you might at first think. Personally, I think I could do it, but leave the romance aspect out because yeah, I'm hopeless at that end of the spectrum...and I would miss my "online life", but then again, I had to do without it for almost a month thanks to that blasted storm...talk about withdrawal and a rude awakening...but I think it would be refreshing to actually connect with people face-to-face once again. So...would YOU be able to do it? Think hard...or just read this fun-filled adventure for a potential "what if" fulfilled.

Recommended for Contemporary Romance and Chick-Lit readers.

Thank you to the publishers for sending me an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This book is about Hannah, who has to reinvent herself after her husband leaves her for another woman, her business fails and she needs to find a job to keep paying her bills.
Hannah applies for a job on a cruise ship and soon finds herself travelling in the Caribbean, working in the onboard spa.

This is where I stopped reading the story, it didn't draw me in.
