I really appreciated that this was a slow build romance...in fact it was a little bit of a hate to love, which is my favorite romantic genre. I am not the biggest fan of Hunter King who played the main character Addy, but I liked her strong character and I thought she had great chemistry with Beau Mirchoff who plays opposite her as Jack.
I am very happy to say that they didn't go with the tired romance formula where there is a misunderstanding or conflict between the two romantic leads at the three quarters point...instead the conflict occurred over Addy's career aspirations and she and Jack have not only talked it through, but he is incredibly supportive.
The backdrop is gorgeous sunny Hawaii and the story revolves around Addy's sister's destination wedding there. Right before the wedding her sister offers her a 50% stake in her fashion business...but Addy really has aspirations to be a marine biologist, an education that she gave up to help her sister. While doing paddle board yoga in the pacific...Addy looses her grandmother's priceless pearl ring, which is how she meets the hotel's dive instructor Jack...who she hires to find it.
These two were more every day people and this was an actual romantic story where effort was put into building the relationship in a believable romance. I highly recommend this film to all the romantics out there.
