A review by jsilfen924
Island Time by Georgia Clark
3.0
This book is a fun island escape with lots of entertainment, heartwarming moments and Liane Moriarty vibes. I will say there were a few parts that I had a harder time buying into, but I know many people will love this story.
What I enjoyed:
-This book was the perfect mix of romance, drama and domestic fiction
-How Clark gives us glimpses of relationships in all different stages and sheds light on the problems that may occur. It all felt very realistic.
-I love when books are told through POVs of 5+ characters
-The Australian island setting. I loved the vivid descriptions and learning about the island’s inhabitants.
-The queer representation was great. There was alot of openness and acceptance in the story.
What wasn’t for me:
-The natural disaster plot was hard to buy into. I was confused how after such a severe storm they had wifi and electricity right away on the island
-The story felt a little too long. The beginning started off strong but in the middle it dragged a bit I
-I sadly found one main character, Amelia, unlikeable and hard to connect with.
