Found this on Kindle daily deals and have started reading it. It's a good fun book and I found myself being drawn into the plot and wanting to read more. It's a book I would recommend to someone who wants a quick read with a mystery-like plot line with some romance.

It's an interesting plot, and I always go into reading a book wanting to like it. But it was just simply not well written. The descriptions she uses are clichés and the narrative reads more like a list. Also, the diary that the book contains is also in first person, and although...

    I'm a sucker for a good love story and this story sucked me in. Liked it almost as much as Bungalow, but still prefered Bungalow. Loved the island setting and the mystery that needed to be solved

    This book is the first I read by Sarah Jio and I liked it. The story is about finding happiness that you deserve even if it's far away from home. Emily a writer, when finalizing her divorce decides to go and live with her aunt Bee suggested by her friend Annabelle and start the heeling process. But she never expects to find true love and uncovers hidden family secrets and turning the story into a book.

    I likes it because it was a fast easy read. I did have several issues with the story. Everyone's name changed as they aged. That was the lynch pin of the "mystery". Secondly, where the hell was Jacks mother? Since he did not have his grandpa's last name, one has to assume that it was his mother who was the offspring of Elliott. And I can not understand why the Grandmother - a grade A self centered bitch - would not want to reach out to her child after abandoning her 40 years ago! And the half sister/aunt...wouldn't she be curious? And something else that just did not fit or maybe I overlooked it, why was Bea an Aunt? Who was she related to? I gave it three starts because I would rather give it two and a half. Would not recommend to anyone.

    I think this is book is from a debut writer...I always enjoy seeing who's new out there and looking at their style. This book has a story (an old journal) within a story. I enjoyed the references to several flowers, like the voluntary violets that just appear one day--we get those too.

    Very good tale. Has blurb from Jodi Picoult which says a lot.

    just as good as the Bungalow one note most of the characters went by one name in their 20's and another name as they aged which led to some confusion and yet intrigue
