Review of Beyond the Tides by Liz Johnson


Meg Whitaker is not ready to give up the family lobster-fishing business when her dad tells her he is going to sell it to Oliver Ross, her high school arch nemesis. So begins the competition of who is going to win the coveted boat and family heritage. Meg and Oliver now have to work together for the lobster season to show Meg's dad who would could best run the business. But what they did not count on was the forging of a friendship, unexpected conversations about their pasts and the feelings growing towards each other over early mornings and hard work.

Liz Johnson has woven a sweet story of two people who chose to avoid each other for years over one event in this first book of her new Prince Edward Island series. I enjoyed how she equally gave the spotlight to two main characters instead of just one. The backstory for each of them flowed well in to the present story and helped create some depth for each character. The description of the environment around the characters makes the reader feel they are sitting right there watching everything unfold. I look forward to the next book!
