About the book:
Sometimes love hurts--and sometimes it can heal in the most unexpected way.
Camden Grayson loves her challenging career, but the rest of her life could use some improvement. "Moving on" is Cam's mantra. But there's a difference, her two sisters insist, between one who moves on . . . and one who keeps moving.
Cam's full-throttle life skids to a stop when her father buys a remote island off the coast of Maine. Paul Grayson has a dream to breathe new life into the island--a dream that includes reuniting his estranged daughters. Certain Dad has lost his mind, the three sisters rush to the island. To Cam's surprise, the slow pace of island life appeals to her, along with the locals--and one in particular. Seth Walker, the scruffy island schoolteacher harbors more than a few surprises.
With On a Summer Tide, bestselling author Suzanne Woods Fisher begins a brand-new contemporary romance series that is sure to delight her fans and draw new ones.
My thoughts: 3.5/5 stars
A speaker without a voice.
A counselor who can't counsel.
A college student with no major in sight.
A woman with no clear path in life.
Where can God take these four people if they only trust Him?
I hate, hate, hate doing this... But.... I didn't really enjoy this book.
I wanted to, so badly did I want to! But I just found the book a little too boring and calm.
All of the girls were so focused on what the "perfect life" should look like, they forgot what truly makes them happy.
The girls were way too focused on themselves and didn't really care about those around them.
Cam was too immature to be a mother. She needed to settle down and take care of her son. Instead she was looking for her next way out.
Cam doesn't know the difference between independence and loneliness. She's strong but holds herself away from others.
But you could definitely see how the girls and Paul and even little quirky Cooper grew so much.
The book was much too calm, and if there was a bit of chaos, it got resolved very quickly.
On a Summer Tide was... Calming Like the reader was meant to be observant and patient. It felt like... waiting.
But I do believe my hesitancy to love this book was completely my fault.
I've been in an awkward state with reading lately.
I believe this book is better suited to other people. It just wasn't for me.
Some of my favorite quotes:
"It's okay to start with a small Faith. We've got a big God.
Cam wondered how the world could be so beautiful yet so heartbreaking.
"Few observations worth making are quick ones."
I still recommend this book to anyone who loves Christian romance, learning about new states, and is who looking for a nice summer read.
My lack of enjoyment from this book is totally on me.
