The View from Alameda Island by Robyn CarrMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Despite dealing with the weighty topics of spousal abuse and divorce, as well as tricky family dynamics, Robyn Carr's "The View from Alameda Island" turned out to be a sweet and enjoyable read. Both Lauren and Beau were incredibly likeable characters, and I liked the slow build of their romance as they each recovered from the trauma of their previous relationships and learned to trust not only themselves, but the fact that they could fall in love again. Their struggles with their children, first in accepting the divorces and later in accepting that their parents were moving on with their lives and starting a new romance, seemed real and very relatable. The children themselves were excellent secondary characters, and I wouldn't mind reading sequels focusing on them down the road.
Overall, this was another excellent story by Robyn Carr, and I highly recommend it.
