You are invited to set
sail on the maiden voyage of the SS Princess of the Pacific in this
indulgent historical romance from Anna Godbersen, the New York Times
bestselling author of the Luxe series.
Vida Hazzard can see her future: aboard the heralded “Millionaire’s Ship of the West,” she’ll charm the young scion Fitzhugh Farrar, resulting in a proposal of marriage.
But Vida didn’t plan on Fitz’s best friend, Sal, a rough-around-the-edges boy with a talent for getting under her skin. Nor did she anticipate a hurricane dashing their ship to pieces, along with her dreams.
Stranded on an island with both Fitz and Sal, Vida is torn between the life she’s always planned for, and a future she’s never dared to want. As they desperately plot a course for home, Vida will discover just which boy can capture her wild heart—and where her future truly lies.

I love Nation, by Terry Pratchett. It's my favourite book ever. When I read the blurb on this one, I thought it might be kind of the same.
Spoiler; it's not. Or, at least, only very superficially. That's not necessarily bad; this is a fun read, plenty of fashionable mentions and historical details. Anna has a niche, and she's very very good at it. It's clear right from the off what's going to happen at the end, but the joy is in getting there.
I enjoyed the read, a few character details surprised me, the details were brilliant, and I didn't put it down until it was done. What more do you need in a romance?
