REVIEW ➞ What I Like About You by Claire Hastings

BLURB ➞

Dalton “Tripp” Sutherland fully realizes just how badly he screwed up ten years ago, resulting in the loss of the best friend he ever had – the incomparable Zara Wellington. From the outside looking in, it may appear that he’s living his best life, spending his days sailing and being the resort playboy, but deep down he’s still haunted by the unforgivable words he uttered that night in high school. If only he had a chance to prove to her that he didn’t mean what he’d said.

Life for Zara Wellington is pretty amazing. As creator and lady-boss behind the top beauty blog on the internet, she gets to travel the world trying out new spas and is even on the verge of having her journalistic dreams come true. Even though she still carries around her life-long insecurities about her weight, it’s rare that she ever thinks about that night she overheard the unimaginable come from the only person she thought ever really cared for her – her best friend Tripp.

But when Zara shows up at the Indigo Royal Resort to review the brand new Cherish Spa, the two come face to face for the first time in ten years. Can they manage to get past everything that night from all those years ago and the painful feelings that still linger, or is the damage done forever?


“Never thought I’d see that, Dalton Sutherland lose his shit over a girl.”


ARC REVIEW ➞

I have been DYING for Dalton’s story since the beginning and this exceeded all my expectations.

In the previous books of the series not a lot of known about Dalton and his life before he arrived at Indigo Royal Resort, however, his past and his present meet when his childhood best friend, Zara, shows up to review the new spa at the resort.

First off, I LOVE Zara. Seriously, the woman is amazing. She is real. She has insecurities about herself that many of us do. As a character she is super relatable and I just want to be her new BFF. She is also hardworking and has done well for herself building up a travel blog. Secondly, Dalton aka Tripp I AM IN LOVE WITH HIM. I’ve always loved Dalton but this story made me fall in love with him even more, well minus the few times throughout the story he was a jerk but he redeems himself. Dalton is the ultimate book boyfriend. He is ultra swoony!

The chemistry between Zara and Dalton is amazing. They have a connection and bond from growing up together that even after ten years apart there is still something there. I loved the little bits about their past together and of course, seeing them reconnect and the sweet moments they shared together.

If you’re looking for a tropical escape, childhood best friends, second chance romance this is one to check out! A Must Read!!
