I really enjoyed the scenery and descriptions of Martha’s Vineyard in this book. However, I just didn’t connect to the story and I had a hard time finishing it. I just wasn’t for me.
Unfortunately I wasn't a huge fan of this story. I was initially drawn to the setting itself, but everything else failed to grab me. The characters weren't my favorites by any means. Still, it wasn't a bad book, just one that didn't suit my personal tastes. Hopefully others like it more.
The Vineyard Remains ny A. McKnight, published by Lake Union Publishing, is a story that goes deep under the skin.
Two women on a journey to Martha's Vineyard, finding themselves/ a new purpose. An intriguinf trope, well written, a quick read that gives all the feels.
I don' t know why I finished this book, I found it to be so bad in parts. Two cousins,two babies(one a stillborn) and the father of both infants are bought together in this book to reveal these dysfuncyional people. I did enjoy reading about the scenery on Martha"s Vineyard. I will not be recmmending this book.
Angela and Kiki were drawn together at the same time as they were pushed apart. Both had tragic childhood, Angela’s mother was a murderer, and the reason Angela came to live on Martha’s Vineyard. It’s the reason she met her cousin Kiki, who is own childhood was marred by the disappearance and presumed death of her mother. The two women had too much in common, including the same man. But they come together when a box of bones is found in the woods nearby, and the two women realize they have much to learn about the secrets their families have kept from them
I give 2.5 stars. This book was a quick read, but heavier in topic than I anticipated. Both narrators were unlikable, and the plot twist was fairly obvious from the beginning. It took the characters much too long to work it out for themselves and constantly got in their own way with how they dealt with the tough situations they were thrown into.
