Review: This is not NZ

The author is meant to be from Wellington but got facts wrong - the beach house is at least an hour away, passports do not take forever to turn up (10 days max) and a couple of other minor things. Why is the main character working? That is never clear. The only reason these people appear to be interested in each other is because they fooled around when they were kids which borders on abuse. There is a "mystery" about who the guy really is tied in with the girls grandparents but she never stops to think that they might be related (spoiler: they aren't). I was excited to read something local but was really disappointed - it's inaccurate and the characters act and speak like anyone in a book based overseas. This is not NZ people.
