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.
Bestselling author Liz Johnson invites you back to Prince Edward Island for a brand-new series about family, forgiveness, and the kind of love that heals all wounds.
"Johnson kicks off her Prince Edward Island Shores series with this heartwarming romance . . . Johnson's fans will eagerly anticipate the next installment of this promising series."--Publishers Weekly starred review

My thoughts:
What a story! The main characters Oliver and Meg intrigued me. Both of them are holding on to parts of their past. Meg has a grudge because of what Oliver did years ago to her science project. He wants them to be able to move past that. When Meg's father is going to get rid of his fishing fleet, Meg can't just let Oliver have it. They end up working together to help her father. It is interesting to watch their friendship develop as they both share their hurts from the past.
An important aspect of this book is the declining health of Meg's Mom. There are many unknowns for Meg and her parents regarding her illness as her Mom is slowly slipping away.
This is my first book to read I believe from this author. I look forward to more in this series (Prince Edward Island Shores). I did not know anything about the lobster business so it was interesting to learn something new about this process as I read the book.
I received a copy of this book for my honest review from Revell Reads review program. Thank you.
Have a day of blessings!
