Mehso-so

The story of a broken marriage & the long term impacts on the children. Unfortunately the telling is so disjointed that it made little emotional impact on me beyond general sadness. I think the #IslandVibe here is the isolation of the characters & maybe the structure of the story - anecdotes across time & character like a scattered chain of islands across the sea. Or it‘s just that they spent summer holidays on Phillip Island 🤷🏻‍♀️ #ozfiction

Cinfhen Lovely, thoughtful review💘sorry the book didn‘t sway you 2y
squirrelbrain Love the cover though! 🤷‍♀️ 2y
thegreensofa You hit the nail on the head with disjointed/Philip Island interpretation, that helps to try and understand it, looking back. 🫨 I agree! 2y

#TitlesAndTunes #IslandVibes

This pair came into my mind immediately for this prompt, although I doubt that they will go together very well. I‘ve been meaning to read the book for a while. The song is an old favourite - pity it‘s May😆

Centique April Sun in Cuba 🙌🙌 2y
BarbaraBB I don‘t know that song but it sound like #IslandVibe 🏝️ 2y
Cinfhen I‘m not familiar with either book or song but I‘m 💯 excited to discover both! 2y

I treated myself recently and signed up for The Wild Book Box subscription service. One book a month handpicked for you based on your preferences. My first one arrived today. It‘s beautiful! All the book are secondhand but I couldn‘t tell. Unfortunately I‘d already read the book, but I highly recommend it and I‘ll have plenty of people to lend it to.

LeeRHarry Definitely going to check this out! 5y
Joanne1 @LeeRHarry it really appealed to me. I told them about having read the first book already and they said to given them my Goodreads details so they could check selections in future. Plus they‘re putting an extra book into the box next month. Customer service outstanding. 5y
LeeRHarry @Joanne1 that‘s really good to know 5y
