It’s an easy read, but around chapter 19 it picks up and is a page turner, like a read to the end in one sitting. This book was only a 2 day read for me though. Anyway, I would definitely recommend this book. This will be one of my favorites. I love it enough I’m going to buy it. 

Cozy mystery.

When Lucy gets back to the island

I saw it coming but not exactly, the twist is slightly unexpected, but I guessed the overall ending. It’s definitely

a feel good

, exciting read.

LOVED this book. Emotional, heart-pounding, romantic, exciting; there are not enough words in my dictionary to describe the feelings this book gave me. MUST READ!!

I cried my way through this book.
What a beautiful, beautiful story brimming with love and whimsy and so much humanity. My heart was broken and repaired multiple times throughout this novel and I think it is such a feat when an author can accomplish that while also having an otherwise interesting story. 
I read this in one sitting and I couldn’t be happier that I decided to ignore the other books that I had due back to the library much sooner & I picked this one up instead.

This book feels like a coming of age movie- but if coming of age happened when you were 26+- mixed with the feeling of watching a Hallmark Christmas Movie. There's a lot of heavy themes here, but there's also a lot of heart and fun moments too. A lot of these characters have been through a lot of terrible things- sadly not anything unusual in our day and age. But despite all of it, it's definitely a story about hope, and "finding your village" as the story puts it. This book is a good contemporary fiction for those wanting to be reminded of the importance of community and making wild wishes
