Island Time by Georgia Clark

A special thank you to NetGalley and Atria Books/Emily Bestler Books for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

The Kellys are messy, loud, loving Australians. The Lees are sophisticated, aloof, buttoned-up Americans. They have nothing in common…except for the fact that their daughters are married. When a nearby volcano erupts during their short vacation to a remote tropical island off the coast of Queensland, the two families find themselves stranded together for six weeks.

With only two island employees making up the rest of their party, everyone is forced to question what—or who—they really want. Island Time is a sumptuous summer read that dives deep into queer romance, family secrets, ambition, parenthood, and a bird-chasing bromance. This sexy, sun-soaked paradise of white sandy beaches, crystal-clear waters, and lush rainforest will show you it’s never too late to change your destiny.

Island Time is another fab offering by Georgia Clark. Although steamier than her other books and not as rom-com-y, it is still an absolute delight! Always astounding is Clark's ability to balance all of the subplots and multiple points of view. This is no small feat.  

It's sapphic, sexy, and salty—this is one tropical paradise you won't want to be rescued from. Add it to your summer reading list immediately!
