My rating: 3 Stars
 
My opinion: Unlike author's first book, Her Sister's Shadow, this book didn't grab me right away. It took me a good 100 pages to warm up to the story. Once I got past those 100 pages, the story took off and I found it a bit more difficult to put down. 

Little Island is a story told not only from different POV but also 2 different periods of time which didn't help with the "grasping". There were periods where it almost became difficult to follow and I felt myself needing to pay closer attention.
 
I found that I really couldn't find one character to latch onto that I liked. However, with the storyline, I am not shocked by this. I can't go deeper; otherwise, we would be heading into Spoilerland.

Would I recommend? : Yes, I still enjoy this author's writing.  Just don't miss HER SISTER'S SHADOW. It continues to be a Sisterhood of the Traveling Book favorite in its review book program.
