Beyond the Tides // Book Review

About the Book:

When Meg Whitaker's father decides to sell the family's lobster-fishing business to her high school nemesis, she sets out to prove she should inherit it instead. Though she's never had any interest in running the small fleet--or even getting on a boat due to her persistent seasickness--she can't stand to see Oliver Ross take over. Not when he ruined her dreams for a science scholarship and an Ivy League education ten years ago.

Oliver isn't proud of what he did back then. Angry and broken by his father walking out on his family, he lashed out at Meg--an innocent bystander. But owning a respected fishing fleet on Prince Edward Island is the opportunity of a lifetime, and he's not about to walk away just because Meg wants him to.

Meg's father has the perfect solution: Oliver and Meg must work the business together, and at the end of the season, he'll decide who gets it. Along the way, they may discover that their stories are more similar than they thought . . . and their dreams aren't what they expected.

My Review:

Beyond the Tides is the first book in the Prince Edward Island Shores series. I really love the cover! It’s pretty and it portrays the story well. I honestly didn’t care much for the actual story though. I had a hard time getting through this book. I personally didn’t find it very engaging and I really didn’t care for the main characters. Meg kind of annoyed me. I thought 10 years was a long time to hold a grudge against someone. 
Oliver was an okay character. It took me a bit to like him and I never fully did like Meg. 
I did feel bad for Meg with the whole situation with her mom. That part of the story was pretty sad. 
The romance was also a bit much in my opinion. The romantic aspects felt a little out of place since for most of the book Oliver and Meg didn’t get along.

My Big Adventure

 Last month I got to spend a whole week with my friend Brooklyne at her house. It was so much fun!

I have lots of amazing memories. This was my first time flying alone and it went well. 

Some of the fun things I did while visiting Brooklyne was jet skiing, riding a horse, hiking, celebrating the 4th of July, four-wheeling, tie-dye, movie nights, and book shopping!

Going book shopping with a fellow bookworm like Brooklyne was loads of fun!

Before we went shopping we stopped and got a frozen hot chocolate drink. Brooklyne got me hooked on those things! ;)

We spent 3 hours in the book store and it was as absolutely amazing!

We both bought When Twilight Breaks by Sarah Sundin! We’re looking forward to reading that one. 

We both got some amazing books. I am super excited to read all of the ones I got. 

The Grand Canyon last year and spending a week with Brooklyne this summer, I can't wait until our next big adventure! :D
