The Island by Elin Hilderbrand Audio Book Review & Giveaway (3 Winners) **CLOSED**

About the Book
My Review
Birdie Cousins has planned a getaway with her daughter Chess on rustic, charming Tuckernuck Island off the coast of Nantucket, a chance to bond before Chess’s upcoming marriage. Birdie’s been through a difficult divorce herself, so she knows the big commitment that marriage entails. She’s only recently dared to tiptoe back into the waters of romance.



When Chess abruptly breaks off the wedding and her fiancé shockingly dies in a rock climbing accident, it leaves Chess feeling guilty and deeply depressed. Birdie circles the wagons, convincing her younger daughter Tate, and her own sister India to join them on Tuckernuck for the month of July. Secrets and intrigue soon make their way to the surface, as Elin Hilderbrand once again weaves a masterful story of summer suspense.

I am becoming a big fan of Elin Hilderbrand and The Island has made me like her even more. This is a great book that kept me interested from beginning to end. It's the perfect book for summer, it made me feel like I was right on the beach. It was easy to listen to and the reader had a great voice and felt like it belonged with the book. I thought it was a great book and I would definitely recommend it, especially if you are looking for a great book to finish this summer up with!
