The Invisible Husband of Frick Island by Colleen Oakley

midwifereading's review against another edition

A well-written, sweet story that is a pretty typical romance. Boy meets girl. Boy has the dumb. Girl gets mad. Everything comes out alright eventually. Except the ending is a bit different than you would think. Which was nice.

I was expecting more mystery and maybe a twist, but there really wasn't. Granted, the main character thought there would be too, and he was disappointed. So, that's fair.

I would have loved more about Anders and his stepdad, too. That storyline actually made me feel feels, and there's not much page space given to it. It's so refreshing to see a GOOD dad in a story.

Worth a read if you want something light and summery. It was a lovely story.

What an enjoyable book! I dreamed about this book so you know it is a good one. The people of Frick Island were real people full of love and care for one another. Great story that was well written.

After finishing this I felt like if searched up the characters I’d find out that they were real people. The characters sometimes made decisions that were stupid and looked bad but that made them so much more realistic and relatable. Something about the way the mc was just a little bit bored with his life sometimes and how he always ended up in the thinking spiral of “why do we do anything?” made the story a lot more interesting to me (even though it probably made it boring to some people). I was under the impression that the book was going to be the sixth-sense vibes but it ended up being a lot simpler and realistic than that. Anyways, solid read.
