The island setting of this book immediately wrapped me in a warm blanket. The book is full of whimsy, which just builds as the story goes on. I did find it predictable and some of the points the book was making were a little too on the nose for me, but it is a short, easy read, and it is just a little bit weird, in a very good way.

This is kind of like Practical Magic light (I say, based only on my knowledge of the movie bc I haven’t read the book.) The sisterly and familial bond is much more of a driving force in this book than the romance, although the romance is simple and sweet.

Warning:
Although it is not depicted, this book deals with sexual assault.
