The Islanders by Meg Mitchell Moore
3.0
Joy, Anthony, and Lu are all on Block Island for the summer and their paths are about to cross in extraordinary ways.
Joy lives on the island full time with her daughter and runs the town's whoopee pie cafe. She's facing competition this summer from a new food truck that keeps popping up closer and closer to her front door.
Anthony is hiding out on the island after a scandal surrounding his most recent novel. He's trying to find himself again and salvage his career.
And Lu is spending the summer with her two young boys while her husband commutes back and forth. Tired of her life as a stay-at-home mom, she's been quietly working on a secret cooking blog...and making her own little nest egg from the sponsor proceeds.
As the summer progresses, these three characters get to know one another and share their secrets. They'll each have to face their own truths and the challenges that come with that.
It was interesting to read about each character's lives and secrets and to try and predict how their paths might cross over the summer. I think Lu was my favorite character because she knew what she wanted and really stood her ground, especially with her husband.
These books always make me envious of people who live on an island or near the shore. The Islanders was a fun beach read that certainly did not disappoint.
