Mallory Hale's life quickly veers off course when she falls hopelessly in love. After a whirlwind romance, Mallory finds herself leaving the bustle and action of Capitol Hill for the remote town of Moses Lake, Texas--with husband, stepson, and a U-Haul in tow.
A sweet, mishap-filled journey into marriage, motherhood, and ranch living ensues, and Mallory is filled with both the wonderment of love and the insecurities of change. But what she can't shake is the unease she feels around her husband's new boss, Jack West. Jack's presence--and his mysterious past--set her on edge, and when hints of a scandal emerge, Mallory finds herself seeking answers . . . and comes to realize that the middle-of-nowhere home she wasn't sure she wanted is the very place she'll risk everything to save.
Review:
I wasn't too impressed with Firefly Island. I found it very hard to get into, and forced myself to keep reading, so I could write this review. It did thankfully get better as the book went on, but I found the plot lacking and the characters a little bland.
The novel is written in first person, which I found really distracting, especially in the beginning; it gets easier the more you read. Firefly Island is written well, but it doesn't make up for the somewhat obivious plot. The plot did get better when the mystery became more in depth, but I found it completely unrealistic.
I found the characters a little bland and had no depth. Some of the characters had some crazy and unrealistic backstories. They have their funny and heart-warming moments, but overall, I wasn't a fan.
I have discovered that Lisa Wingate isn't my kind of author, both in writting style and in content. This is not a book I would reccomend, but I know others would enjoy this book. It's just not for me.
