An enjoyable ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ read. I really enjoyed Summer Island by Natalie Normann, it is an easy read that gave me an escape from the same four walls, whilst shielding in lockdown. The story is of coming home, even if you don’t know it, where new adventures await. I loved the practical Ninnie and the passionate Jack and the quirky cast of secondary characters.  A cosy, comforting read set in Norway, the perfect escape in these strange times. My thanks to the author, Netgalley and One More Chapter for allowing me to read and review this wonderful story.
