Island Time by Georgia Clark
2.0
** I received a copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. **
Another Netgalley backlog item... this book was picked based on a bookish bingo prompt for a beach on it's cover.
Island Time takes place on a remote island of the coast of Queensland, Australia. When a nearby volcano unexpectedly erupts, it triggers a chaotic chain of events of the family staying on the island. Throw in the only other 2 inhabitants of the island who are employees of the "resort" that is definitely no longer a resort after suffering through the storm.
2 stars to this one and I feel like I'm being kind. The plot at least had me keep reading to see if they ever got off the island, but none of the characters were very likable and it didn't help that all the characters (NINE in total) each had their own povs for chapters. And since most of them were insufferable, it was hard to distinguish one person from the other and I found myself forgetting who's pov I was currently reading.
Pros - I liked the extra tidbits of Aboriginal Australian heritage. It's something I don't normally come across in my usual reads.
