Paradise Island: A Sam and Colby Story

Product Information

Gaby Triana writes some pretty scary stuff but took it up a million notches in this book. "Make the benign and beautiful terrifying" is done masterfully in this book. Had never heard of Sam & Colby (not really big on YT) but they have me hooked after this!

Hotel Riu Palace Paradise Island is an adult-only resort located on a beautiful beach on Paradise Island, in the Bahamas.

The nearest airport is Lynden Pindling International Airport, 14 miles from Riu Palace Paradise Island - Adults Only - All Inclusive. Just how meta the book was. Like, the quote I included at the top? I laughed for way too long when I read that. Honestly, I read it bc I'm a huge Gaby Triana/Gabrielle Keyes fan. As someone almost old enough to be Sam or Colby's mom had I made different decisions in HS (and had the pool of potentials not been little Eminem wannabes) I was skeptical about how "bro"-y this book would be.

Harborside Resort

You know the old saying, many a business deal has been done on the golf course. Well, now there's a new place to do business with a bit of added adventure. With two 18 hole courses we've got the perfect venue for:

Located adjacent to The Cove, The Reef pairs the conveniences of home with the amenities of a luxury residential community. In addition to two-bedroom Penthouses, the resort offers newly renovated studios and suites with private balconies. It wasn’t outstanding writing, but I enjoyed it. But then again is there the fact that I know them so I recognise their characteristics and know how to interpret actions and sayings that people who don’t know them wouldn’t. The characterization of all four of the boys is a bit 2D. Sam’s logical and wants to keep the peace, Colby’s emotional and more of a wildcard, Nate’s focused on his schoolwork and flexing his vocabulary, and Alex? Well, I couldn’t get a good read on Alex until he sells out SNC at the end of the novel and even then, he didn’t feel so much like his own character, more like someone just present to further the plot. One of the most noteworthy aspects of the resort is its 10,000 square foot terrace, which overlooks the marinas across the harbor. Rooms at the hotel offer views of Paradise Island, and also a mini-fridge. Stay in trim with a session in the well-equipped gym. Outdoor sports catered for at the resort include beach volleyball, windsurfing, scuba diving and kayaking. Golfers are rewarded with access to the nearby Cable Golf Course, where you can tee off amid lakes and tropical vegetation.For children, Atlantis isn’t just a mythical lost world: It has one of the coolest kids clubs anywhere! Atlantis Kids' Adventures offers supervised activities and wondrous expeditions for children ages 3-12, and features interactive games, an imagination station, arts and crafts, culinary lessons, wizardology, theater, performances, outdoor play, and more.

Fitness Center The other big thing I made note of was that there was a lot of “tell, not show” throughout. There’s a heavy focus on dialogue to progress the story rather than seeing into the boys’ inner thoughts and using other means to find out information. (I’m not one to talk, though, since I also focus more on dialogue than description.) It sometimes made it difficult to fully get into the story. I struggled with developing a picture of what the Belle Estate looked like, or what the other characters (beside SNC, Nate, and Alex) looked like. In terms of the boys, it seemed very reliant on us knowing who Sam and Colby are and what they’re all about (which is fair, since probably 99.9% of people who bought the book are fans of them but, if they want success outside of their audience, it could’ve been more descriptive in that regard). This story has exactly the right vibes that I expected from a Sam and Colby story. The personalities of the main characters were captured so well and I could always tell who was speaking before it was mentioned.You can redeem this discount when you book online using code YSCOT23or present a valid Young ScotCard at the paybooth, valid until 30th June 2024.
