Our Place on the Island

by Erika Montgomery

This was a cute one ya’ll. It brought me back home to New England beach life. It was a mix of a beach read with romance and family drama turned happy. It was a feel-good, happy ending, type of read.

Mickey is a chef in Baltimore who owns her own restaurant but is in some of her own hot water. She finds out that her grandmother, Cora, is getting married to Max Dempsey. Mickey travels back to Martha’s Vineyard for the nuptials even though she has not told her boyfriend Wes about her restaurant financial troubles, and knows she needs to.

Mickey is not the only one with a secret though; Cora has decided to sell the Beech House that has been in the family for generations but hasn’t been able to tell Mickey yet. We move through their wedding weekend preparations with Cora urging Mickey to reveal her secret to Wes; when Cora sees the angst it caused Mickey, she secretly calls Wes to come. The caterer bails last minute which allows Mickey and Wes to show their craft.

The ending is a sweet one and you should read it! It came out June 13, so snag it quickly! This is your next best beach read!!
