On the Island by Tracey Garvis Graves
3.0
Wow what a beautiful love story. I usually don't read this sort of genre... fantasy/supernatural series are more my thing...
I picked up this book needing a short, feel good novel to fill the gap, and I was pleasantly surprised. Although I wasn't a huge fan of the writing style (I'm not one for alternating character view) but it worked for this book.
It was good to be able to read about how both characters were feeling from their own point of view, but it kind of takes the guess work out of the relationship and makes the story a bit predictable.
Never the less, it was a nice story filled with hardship and passion with a beautiful ending.
I would have rated it 4 had I been able to get past my own dislike of the character switching every chapter... for those of you who don't mind this I highly recommend this book, because it's a truly touching story :)
