I’m thrilled anytime I read a book and it teaches me about a historic event I’ve never heard of. Loved the characters, their personalities, and acerbic dialogue.
I listened to the book and thought the voices of Mike and Sedge were an odd change at the end of the book.

"Under the Stars" by Beatriz Williams is a beautifully woven tapestry of mystery, romance, and tragedy that grips you from the very first page. Williams, known for her skillful storytelling, once again delivers a captivating narrative that seamlessly blends fiction with historical elements.
Set on a quaint island steeped in history, the novel explores the intricacies of its past while introducing us to relatable characters who draw you into their lives. The protagonist, Audrey, is a wonderfully crafted character whose resilience and likability make her an easy one to root for. I found myself genuinely invested in her journey, feeling her joys and sorrows as if they were my own.
Williams's writing style is both poetic and engaging, with vivid descriptions that create a strong sense of place and atmosphere. The small-town island setting becomes a character in its own right, filled with secrets and the weight of history that adds layers to the story.
What I particularly appreciated about this novel is how it tackles complex themes, blending them seamlessly into an engaging narrative. The mix of romance and mystery keeps the plot moving at a satisfying pace, making it difficult to put down.
Overall, "Under the Stars" is a remarkable read that showcases Williams's talent for crafting rich, emotional stories. Whether you’re a longtime fan of her work or new to her novels, this book is a must-read that will leave you enchanted and eager for more. I thoroughly enjoyed this literary journey and highly recommend it!
