"Beyond the Tides," by Liz Johnson
"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 take it over 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 in charge. 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, as well as a way to provide for his mother, and he's not about to walk away just because Meg wants him to.
Meg's father has the perfect solution: Oliver and Meg will 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."
I really enjoyed this book. The story kept moving along at a decent pace. The main characters Oliver and Meg were very realistic and I was cheering them along throughout the story. I know nothing about lobster fishing, so that was interesting learning about that.
Prince Edward Island is somewhere I would love to visit, and this story just made me want to visit more. There was a great deal of thought and love written into this story.
Stars out of 5 : 5 I loved it and I can't wait to read the second in the "Prince Edward Island Shores," series which is due out in the Summer of 2022
