Our Place on the Island

Our Place on the Island is the best kind of summer book to binge at the beach or pool!

What appealed to you the most in this story?

I was hooked from the beginning and loved how Montgomery wove the past and the present together through the lives of the three lead female characters, their beach home and love of cooking (you know my foodie butt loves a story that incorporates all things yummy). Each of their stories, filled with challenges, brought me more into the fold of their family, and by the end I felt like I had become part of that family as each of the characters grew and dealt with their own losses.

I also liked how the conflict and drama within the lives of each of the characters was realistic as they took on marriage issues, social situations, and trying to live your own life.

How was the pace?

This was such a thoroughly enjoyable and fast paced story.

Do you recommend this book?

You can’t go wrong with a strong cast of characters, a story that will keep you fully engaged, and the picturesque setting of Martha’s Vinyard. Perfect to add to your pool of beach bag!

Warning: Do NOT read this book on an empty stomach! The amazing food mentioned (fresh crab ravioli, shrimp bisque, lemon méringue pie, crab boils, etc.) will have you drooling all over the pages.

Thank you, St. Marthin’s Press, for this gifted copy in exchange for my honest review.
