Critics Review

Here for a Good Time is the perfect read for anyone who wished the White Lotus was swoonier. War’s writing sparkles with her trademark hilarious wit and genuine warmth, and I know that readers will fall as hard for Poe and Zwe as I did. * Amy Spalding, bestselling author of For Her Consideration and At Her Service *
Pyae is now the absolute queen of taking a romantic trope and chucking her protagonists into the plot of Die Hard. You wouldn’t think there’d be much romantic, sexual tension in a situation like this, but Pyae had me on the edge of my seat to know how both the romance and the life or death situation turned out. And there’s the return of a much loved character from her previous novel too. LOVED it. * Ronali Collings, author of All the Single Ladies *
Pyae Moe Thet War’s Here For a Good Time is an epic adventure built around my favorite romance trope; friends to lovers. With witty dialogue, surprising twists, and some good old-fashioned romantic pining, readers are bound to fall in love right along with the main characters. This is the ultimate romantic adventure that will have readers laughing, longing, and turning the pages as quickly as they can. * Sophie Sullivan, Award-winning author of Ten Rules for Faking It and Can’t Help Falling in Love *
When you want the slow burn of a friends-to-lovers but the thrilling excitement of an actual life-or-death situation, look no further than Here for a Good Time by Pyae Moe Thet War. You’ll be screaming surely you can see you’re perfect for each other! and oh god, they’re right behind you! all in the same breath. This was such a fun, inventive romance that feels like it belongs on the big screen one day. I’ll be at the premiere with my popcorn! * Alicia Thompson, USA Today bestselling author of Never Been Shipped *
A sweet friends to lovers romcom mashed up with a thriller! Pyae blends genres with total confidence to create an entertaining swoony read for fans looking for a White Lotus style entertainment * Elizabeth Drummond, author of The House Sitter and The Reunion *
With an action packed plot and a delicious slow burn romance, Here For A Good Time is a love story that leaps off the page. Poe and Zwe’s dream holiday turned tropical nightmare is a fun escapist beach read…until it’s not, making it the perfect novel to pop in your bag and speed through this summer * Rufaro Faith Mazarura, author of Let the Games Begin *
A brilliant, humorous fusion, combining romance and light terror, with elements of The White Lotus and The Perfect Couple. Pyae Moe Thet War is a rising talent and I eagerly await her next book! * Heidi Shertok, author of Unorthodox Love *
In HERE FOR A GOOD TIME, Pyae Moe Thet War gives readers a charming friends-to-lovers romance… then adds in the luxurious setting of THE WHITE LOTUS and the action thrills of DIE HARD. It’s a winning, heartfelt, and utterly unputdownable book * Laura Hankin, author of One-Star Romance *
The perfect balance between playful and thrilling, this action rom com is both unique and full of heart * Zoe Allison, author of The Wedding Engagement and The Ex-Mas Holidays *
I absolutely loved the beachy island caper of Here for a Good Time - think The White Lotus, but funnier and sexier. The main couple are a total delight. Poe’s humour and vulnerability and her adorable relationship with solid-gold sweetheart Zwe are the beating heart of the book. Best read with a cocktail in hand, soaking in the sunshiney hijinks * Eleanor Vendrell, author of The Great Orchid Heist *
Here for a Good Time is a heart-felt, action-packed story that had me kicking my feet and gasping at the plot’s twists and turns in equal measure. The protagonists’ yearning and the cast of fun, campy side characters made this one of my reads of the summer! * Elle Everhart, author of Wanderlust and Hot Summer *
