An isolated Scottish island, accessible to the mainland only twelve hours a day. A famous (some might say infamous) artist whose notoriously unfaithful husband disappeared after visiting her twenty years ago. A present-day discovery that intimately connects three people and unveils a web of secrets and lies.
I am unsure why I picked this read, but I did. Maybe because of the title and it seemed intriguing? 
Man, to live on an island all by yourself and no one around. That is the best thing ever, especially for an artist and that is what happens. Vanessa our artist moves there after her husband cheats on her and she can just work and not worry about anyone. That is until she ends up meeting Grace. Grace ends up visiting and at times staying with Vanessa, but in the end, their whole vibe is just off. Grace seems to come across as needy and we all know how that then goes. We go back and forth between letters from Vanessa and the present. 
When an exhibit is put on hold and is questioned it brings up a lot of suspension as to what is happening up there on the island. 
Now, let's meet up with our guy who is trying to get all the work that Vanessa promised the business he works for. Becker is trying to do his job, but yet has his own personal issues going on. His whole life at the moment is drama lol. I will say I was not impressed with the ending. Between me wanting to find out if he was the father of his child, to was his girl cheating on him, to what the heck happened the last few pages. I felt duped. There were no answers. Wasn't my favorite. 
Character-wise I didn't like any of the characters in the end.






Paula Hawkins is the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller The Girl on the Train, which was made into a major motion picture. Her new novel of psychological suspense, Into The Water, is coming May 2.

Let me welcome Author Teri Polen for an interview. I read her book Sarah which I got from NetGalley and let me tell you it was actually a really good read. If you click on the link you can read my review. What truly pulled me to requesting the book was the cover. I know, I know, you should never just get a book by its cover but you know sometimes the cover catches your eye and you just have to read it. I was very happy and surprised to have the author contact me. I think in all my requesting from NetGalley I have had maybe two authors contact me. So I jumped on the chance to interview Mrs. Polen. Check out her interview and enter into the giveaway that she was kind enough to do. Below is the blurb for the book with where you can purchase the book from amazon, also add it to your TBR shelves on Goodreads.

Have you ever wondered what Autism was? Do you or someone you know have Autism? Did you know that sometimes Autism is sometimes misdiagnosed? Think about how long a parent is thinking their child has a disorder and is being treated for that one disorder, only to be told months or years later that no your child has Autism. Do you know that a majority of children that have Autism get picked on because they are so called "different" they look normal just like a normal person would but yet they act different. The children and I am sure adults too that have Autism are being bullied at times because people do not quite understand Autism. If you would like more information on Autism, what it is, the symptoms and other useful information please go to this website: http://www.autism-society.org/ While you are there, feel free to look around, and pass that website around on your blog, on twitter, anywhere that will bring more people to the site and help others truly understand Autis...
