Review: Drifting Into You by Andre'a Delaney

About the Book

A cruise, a wedding party, and seven days to get the guy.

Gina has always been second to her brother. Second child, second to graduate, and second at every major milestone that her parents have already celebrated. And now that he's getting married, she fears she'll always loom in his shadow.

Cruising the Mediterranean alongside the bridal party isn't exactly Gina's idea of a relaxing time. But with her longtime crush on board, it may not be so bad. That is until her brother's best friend, Leo, boards the ship and the wind sways Gina in an unusual direction.

Review

I understand what the author was trying to accomplish with Drifting Into You, however, I do not think it was executed particularly well. The strongest component of the book was Gina’s struggle with her family. She had always felt second to her brother. That feeling felt genuine, and the payoff was lovely and satisfying. Unfortunately, much of the rest of the strong could have benefited from additional development.

I struggled to buy into Gina and Leo’s romance. Their connection developed too quickly, and there was little reason for me to be invested in them as a couple. Too much time was spent focusing on Gina’s crush on Justin. That time could have been spent developing the romance between Gina and Leo, so that there was a stronger foundation. Honestly, I wouldn’t have minded if Gina ended the book single.

Final Thoughts

Drifting Into You may have featured a lovely journey regarding Gina’s confidence, but it fails to develop a compelling love story between Gina and Leo.
