A sweet grown-up love story. A beach book for smart people.- Booklist
AUTHOR'S NOTE: One of the strangest things about being an author is that you don’t always get to choose the title of your own book. I originally called this novel The Hermit of Chappaquiddick (after its main character). The publisher insisted on the blander Island Apart. So for this new Kindle edition, I went back to my original title. Same story of love, loss, redemption, and really good food. Better title. Plus a bonus chapter that didn’t make it into the original book. The Hermit of Chappaquiddick. The author finally gets the title he wanted!”
