 This is the love story of a lifetime! When Cleo packs up her bags and heads to a remote island to "self-couple" for her 30th birthday, she finds more than she sets out for - she discovers herself, love in unexpected places, and the quirkiest group of ladies to befriend. One Night on the Island is so much more than an enemies-to-lovers romance. It reads like a women's fiction novel for the first half until it turns into an epic love story. Josie Silver's books are meant to be read slowly and savored. All of the relationships in the book are sweet. The dialogue between the characters is so incredibly heartfelt, human, and raw. I got swept up in the scenery of the island. Despite the rain, the setting of the cottage itself was as welcoming as the island community. Was this book perfect? No. But it gave me all the warm and cozy vibes I've been in search of lately. It left me feeling hopeful!
