My Review:

It Is Any Wonder is the second book in the Nantucket Love Story and can be read as a stand-alone novel. I read the first book quite a while ago, and don't remember many details, but I read this one up without feeling like I was missing something. 

Before reading Is It Any Wonder, you need to get prepared. First, grab your favorite drink and a pack of tissues. Next, find a cozy spot and settle in. This book is going to run you through all the emotions. While it might seem like your everyday run-of-the-mill love story at first, it actually has so many layers you wonder if you will ever know everything. 

Is It Any Wonder is a story of second chances, love, forgiveness, and redemption. The characters are lovable, relatable, and flawed. 

In case you have not figured it out yet, this is another book that I am having a hard time reviewing. I loved it, and I hope you will too!

Synopsis (Goodreads): 

Can a promise made as kids bring them back together as adults? In this Nantucket-set beach read, “master of the genre” (Midwest Book Review) Courtney Walsh delivers a sparkling inspirational romance about first love and second chances.

Twelve years ago, Cody Boggs and Louisa Chambers made a pact that no matter where their lives took them, they’d return to Nantucket Island’s Brant Point Lighthouse on July 30, their shared golden birthday, and continue their tradition of exchanging birthday wishes. But that was before a tragic accident upended both of their lives, irrevocably pulling them apart.

Their worlds collide just months before that particular day when Louisa’s fledgling event planning company is hired by the local Coast Guard station, where she discovers Cody has recently returned to the island as the second in command. As they plan a regatta fundraiser, hoping to promote positive PR in the community, neither can deny the fireworks each encounter ignites. But working together also brings up memories of the day Cody’s father died, revealing secrets that have Cody and Louisa questioning everything they thought they knew and felt about their families and each other.
