Book Rating

I had intended to read this book on a Florida beach vacation, which was canceled due to the pandemic. It made me miss the beach, with its lush descriptions of the South Carolina Low Country. Harper finds solace in the beach and a dolphin friend (yes, you read that right). The book is silly and cheesy, and exactly what I would have wanted to read while on my trip. I especially liked Carson and will eventually pick up the next in the series (each book is told from the perspective of a different sister). 3+ stars.

Straight-to-streaming remake of the Patrick Swayze film of the same name (haven't seen it), with Jake Gylenhall taking on the lead role as the ex-UFC fighter Dalton who is hired to be a bouncer at a bar called the 'Road House' in the Florida keys.

I knew beforehand there was a bit of controversy over whether this was intended to be straight to streaming or not: director says "no"; star says "yes" (I think it's that way about), but I could see this doing well on the big screen.

It's trash, yes, but it knows it.
