The leaps in logic were just too ridiculous for me to handle.
The positives - it's nice to see some fresh faces as opposed to the usual Hallmark actors, and contrary to some other reviewers, I thought the leads and the supporting cast did a good job for the third of the movie I saw.
The scenery was beautiful and you can't beat the authentic on-location setting.
Also the idea for the story is great - her grandmother's ring bringing true love together by going missing when it did, as if through the very magic that her grandmother believed in.
Unfortunately, this idea ended up being wasted as it was so poorly executed.
As one reviewer has already said, not taking the ring off to do SUP yoga was stupid. OK, it's needed for the story, I'll carry on watching.
Then it only transpires after she's waited a full day and gone to such desperate lengths to try to enlist the help of the dive-master that she's a certified diver herself. To be fair, the movie does try to address this by having Addy asked about this on two separate occasions. Sadly her explanation doesn't really stack up. While it doesn't to any harm to get the help of a dive master who knows the currents, why did she not start looking herself immediately? (I'm no expert on currents, but surely the sooner she started looking, the more likely it would still be in the area where she'd just been doing the yoga), and, as another reviewer has said, why was she not spending every available hour looking herself?! Jack's assistance should have been a bonus, not a necessity.
It's needed for the 2 lead characters to meet and have initial conflict. I can just about accept it and carry on watching. There's numerous other ways they could have met - off the top of my head, she could have been looking for it herself and interfered with one of Jack's dive excursions. But I'm 30 minutes in now, I want to see where this goes.
The final straw for me though came when her sister demanded that the dive-master spend his spare hour helping them do some utterly trivial scavenger hunt game rather than be looking for the ring. That was just the height of selfishness - it was her grandmother's ring too. That no-one called her on it was just too much.
In fact, given that her and their "friend" insisted Addy do the yoga against her wishes, quite actively stopped her from looking for the ring immediately, and now this, I have to wonder if the sister was jealous that their grandmother hadn't given her the ring instead and so wanted it to stay missing.
If that gets revealed later in the plot, then great. I can't watch any longer to find out.
