My thoughts:
In this charming novel the author introduces us to the Grayson family and a whole host of memorable characters in the first book in her Three Sisters Island series. As a longtime fan of Suzanne Woods Fisher I was pleased to see that she was writing contemporary fiction although I have absolutely loved every single one of her Amish fiction books that I have read.
I thought the premise of the book was really good but I have to admit that I would have been just as shocked as Cam, Madison and Blaine Grayson were had that happened in my family. Because having your father buy an island would surely surprise anyone. Although Cam and her young son Cooper are the main focus in this book we do see more of the family dynamic and the relationships the family has and have had in the past. Each of the three sister have a distinct personality and yes they sometimes clash but that happens, right?
One of my favorite characters is Peg Legg a nickname she doesn't like but that doesn't stop Paul Grayson from calling her that. Peg's storyline is pretty humorous and unexpected, I mean who would run the Lunch Counter and General store without knowing much about cooking? Peg does just that and I loved the help she gets from Blaine who became my second favorite character. Seth Walker, the schoolteacher on Three Sisters Island is an unusual but likable character who I became fond of the more I got to know him.
Overall, I absolutely loved this book and the quirky but sweet characters. Is island living for me? No but I certainly enjoyed reading how the Grayson family, their friends and neighbors adapted to the lifestyle. There is one huge twist that I did not see coming but oh, how I loved it! This is a quick and fun read that would be perfect for a day at he beach or really anywhere you like to read.
