My thoughts:
Adrift is the second book in the Haven Island Series, but it can definitely be read as a standalone. My thoughts: Adrift is the second book in Isabel Jolie's Haven Island series. The first book introduced us to Tate and Luna, this one is about Tate's childhood friend Gabe, and Luna's friend Poppy. You can definitely read and enjoy Adrift as a standalone. We meet Gabe in his New York office and see that there is a potential insider trading scandal brewing. Gabe may not be the most likeable protagonist at the beginning of the book. He is arrogant and possibly not the best judge of people. But when his mum asks him to go to Haven Island and talk to his childhood friend Tate whom he hasn't seen for ten years, Gabe is happy to oblige. He is sure that the rift between Tate and his brother must be the fault of Tate and he just needsto talk a bit of sense into him (if you've read the first book in the series, you know what it's all about). When Gabe meets Poppy, he is attracted to her voluptious curvy figure and the fact that she has an internet subscription business where clients get access to photos. Poppy has found herself doing this activity during the pandemic when money was tight, and although she has always set strict limits, naturally, a lot of people see her in a certain light She is dreaming of opening a restaurant or a bar, and, Gabe, despite all his drawbacks sees that she is special, although she is lacking experience and higher self-esteem. Both characters go through a huge amount of development and growth in the book, Poppy learning to really believe in her self. You can see how her past experiences shaped her view of herself, and how much hard work and conscious effort it took her to really accept herself. Gabe also had to realise a lot of things on his way to becoming kinder and more deserving of Poppy's love. Lovely romance with interesting characters- great addition to the series. Looking forward to the next book! Thank you to Xpresso Book Tours and the author for the review copy provided in exchange for an honest opinion. Comments are closed.
