Goodreads rating: 4.05
My rating: 4.5
Setting: Contemporary Canada - Toronto, Tofino

My comments: 4.5  I didn't want to like this book as much as I did (I've sort of sworn off romances", but it's a real feel-good story that was hard to put down.  I'm glad I read the end notes, because I learned a lot about the fate of the right whale, who live off the eastern Canadian coast.  The setting is Canada, from Toronto to the west coast to the Bay of Fundy, which was great.

Goodreads synopsis: 

Best friends have one week in paradise to fix their friendship or fall apart in this heart-stopping, utterly romantic new novel from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Every Summer After and One Golden Summer.

Frankie and George have been best friends since they were eight years old. Both passionate, impulsive, and headstrong—they’ve always clashed . . . and come back together. Until now. It’s the eve of Frankie’s wedding weekend, and she doesn’t know where they stand or even if George will show up as her best man.

Then, at the start of the festivities, in walks George. For one glorious evening, surrounded by her loved ones, Frankie’s life is finally perfect. But it all comes crashing down when her fiancĂ© dumps her the next morning, leaving only a note as an explanation.

Crushed and confused, Frankie returns to her family’s home to wallow. But George has a different idea and a plan for healing Frankie’s broken heart. He wants her to go on her honeymoon. With him. For one week, to the lush rainforests and misty beaches of Tofino.

Frankie agrees, seeing the trip for what it really is: one last chance to repair their friendship. Even if it means unearthing secrets and long buried feelings n
either knows how to handle. Even if it means falling apart for good.
