The Islanders by Meg Mitchell Moore
5.0
The Islanders by Meg Mitchell Moore is a beautiful interplay of three characters on Block Island, with it’s beach town vibe and tranquility, over the course of a summer.
Anthony is a second generation writer who runs to the island to escape a scandal and failed marriage.
Joy is a single mother with a successful bakery in town and a teenage daughter. When a food truck arrives on the island during the profitable tourist season her way of life is threatened.
Lu has come to the island with her two young boys and her surgeon husband who will commute back and forth to the island on most weekends. Lu finds it challenging to continue her secret blog while on the island, particularly since her mother-in-law is nearby for the summer.
I loved this book which is the perfect depiction of a beach read. It is highlighted by romance and personal growth. The theme of an often outdated role for women in the family is strongly suggested, but is counterbalanced by strong women in the book. I’d highly recommend this book for fans of Elin Hilderbrand and Nancy Thayer.
