“Meet Me in Paradise will sweep you off your feet. Marin’s leap into the unknown is full of love, romance and adventure, and I felt like I was right there with her on the pristine beaches of Saba as she climbs mountains, dives for pearls, and learns how to open herself up to the possibilities of love.”
Sonya Lalli, author of Serena Singh Flips the Script
“Hubscher’s debut novel is the perfect book for anyone longing for family, travel, and romance. Prepare for some tears mixed with the happy-ever-afters.”
Library Journal
“A poignant, emotionally authentic story of sisterly bonds and unexpected love…This is sure to tug at readers’ heartstrings.”
Publishers Weekly (starred)
“Debuting author Hubscher gently weaves in the more somber story lines, so readers aren’t blindsided yet will still feel the full emotional impact. The romance blooms beautifully, and while there are several complex and endearing secondary characters, this is primarily Marin’s story told mostly through her own captivating narrative. Tissues should be on hand.”
Booklist
“Not simply a breezy romantic comedy, Meet Me in Paradise captures the duality of life’s highs and lows. This romantic comedy offers tropical vacation mishaps, a burgeoning romance and an undercurrent of heartbreak.”
