On the Island (NS)

Anybody else read this one? I got it on a whim because I'm in the mood for lighter stuff that takes place on pretty beaches right now. I was skeptical about it because of the GR summary; semi-taboo relationships aren't particularly my thing and it sounded vaguely icky.

I really liked it. It was well-told and I thought that the characters were quite developed, considering the relatively brief length of the book. I was a little disappointed with the ending, but not too much.

Basically, if you've been thinking about reading it and weren't quite sure, I'd give it a shot.

thanks! For anyone still on the fence, I just looked it up on amazon - the kindle version is only $5.99.

I really liked it, too. I agree with your comments about their relationship... not as icky as I anticipated. Both characters were likable, and I rooted for them.

I also appreciated how the story tied into real-life events.

I'm reading this now (at about 80%)...I'm experiencing a little of the ick factor but not too bad. It's a good read so far..a bit "lost" meets "blue lagoon" ?? That shark was freaking me out big time.

That is the book we are reading for book club this month. I finished it in like 2 days. I thought it was a good interesting quick easy read. The author is from my area, and we are actually going to see her for book club at a local library. Should be interesting!

Oh, that is so cool! Someday I will meet an author, LOL. Most of the ones I've had the opportunity to meet were ones I'd never heard of and/or had no interest in.
