When three sisters learn their father has sold his house and is moving to the island he purchased, they are completely shocked. The girls begrudgingly end up at the island as well. After all, their mother has passed away and their dad could use a lot of help since the island and campgrounds are definitely not what he remembered them to be as a young man.
Cam, the older sister, has an adopted child and a wonderful career, so moving seems impossible, until something happens at her company. In fact, each of the sisters carries baggage that makes moving difficult.
The island’s description and the island characters are very interesting.
The slow island life begins to reunite the daughters and dad, who really need time to talk and heal. Eventually, Cam sees that island life is working well for her son, who was having difficulties adapting to school on the mainland. Cam also takes note of the schoolteacher, Seth Walker, who is helping her son and taking a real interest in him.
My Thoughts
What Concerned Me: I had trouble with the dialog between the girls when they learned that their dad was moving. It felt a bit overdone and juvenile.
But even more concerning to me was the surprise toward the end of the book. I won’t disclose it, but it was totally unbelievable and a remarkable coincidence. Perhaps nice reading, but hedging into the fairytale spectrum.
And lastly, though I’m not against religious references in a book, at times it seemed contrived. Other places it was just fine.
What I Liked Most: While this isn’t my usual type of reading, the story completely kept my interest. It is a fun, happily ever after sort of book that is easy to read and enjoy.
Thank so much, Revell and #Netgalley for an advanced copy of this book. In return, I have given an unbiased review.
When Suzanne isn’t writing, playing tennis, or bragging to her friends about her grandbabies (so cute!), she is raising puppies for Guide Dogs for the Blind. To her way of thinking, you just can’t take life too seriously when a puppy is tearing through your house with someone’s underwear in its mouth.
