At Lighthouse Point by Suzanne Woods Fisher Review

 Good Morning Friends :)

I hope you all had a lovely weekend, and I'm thankful to each and every one of you for joining me today on The Preppy Book Princess for another book review. 

Over the last couple of years, I've really come to adore Suzanne Woods Fisher's beautiful books. I've especially grown fond of her Three Sisters Island series, and words cannot even express how excited I was to finally get to read the third and final book in the series.

Today I'm excited to share with all of you what I ended up thinking about it.

You can check out my reviews from the first two books in the series here and here.

At Lighthouse Point by Suzanne Woods Fisher:



Source: Publisher via NetGalley

Publisher: Revell

Publication Date: May 4th, 2021

Genre: Christian Fiction/Contemporary

Series: Three Sisters Island


Synopsis:


Blaine Grayson returns to Three Sisters Island with a grand plan--to take Camp Kicking Moose to the next level. Her dream starts to unravel when she discovers Moose Manor's kitchen has been badly remodeled by her sister, Cam, who doesn't know how to cook. Added to that blow is the cold shoulder given by her best friend, Artie Lotosky, now a doctor to the unbridged Maine islands.

As old wounds are opened, Blaine starts to wonder if she made a mistake by coming home. Little by little, she must let go of one dream to discover a new one, opening her heart to a purpose and a future she had never imagined.

Bestselling author Suzanne Woods Fisher invites you back to the coast of Maine for a story that reminds you to release what doesn't matter and cling to what does: faith, family, and friendships.

My Review:

Suzanne Woods Fisher has recently become one of my favorite authors, and I love how she can so effortlessly write so many different genres. I've loved every book of hers I've ever picked up, but I have to be honest and say that her Three Sisters Island series is my favorite. I've enjoyed getting to follow along on the Grayson family's tumultuous journey from buying a run down summer camp on a small Maine island to trying to turn it into a successful summer resort. I've enjoyed reading about Paul, Maddie and Cam; but I've been eagerly anticipating Blaine getting her own story. Her character has grown and changed so much throughout the series, and I couldn't wait to see where the author was going to end her journey.

Now I don't want to give away too many details, as I truly feel that At Lighthouse Point is a book you need to read for yourself to truly appreciate, but I definitely feel that Suzanne Woods Fisher saved the best for last in this favorite series. I adored Blaine's quest to find where she belonged, and I surprised myself by loving Jean-Paul's addition to the series. Rarely have I read about a character having such a big heart for others, and I loved how he's such a big part of bringing the family together. While I went into this one expecting to love reading about Blaine and Artie, I really appreciated that they weren't the only focus of the story. As well as Jean-Paul, another new character is introduced to the reader in this one, Paul Grayson's dad, and it was another endearing moment seeing the family trying to cope with such a tough familial dynamic.

One thing I definitely have to mention as well is that I love how realistically this author chooses to tell her stories. I've long loved getting a sneak peak into previous characters' lives in series like this, but I've noticed a disheartening trend lately: rarely do they ever seem "real" and instead seem to be living a fairy tale life where everything goes perfectly after saying I do. Suzanne Woods Fisher does not do this with her characters. Instead, we witness two couples who love each other very much, but are struggling to handle everything together that insists on coming their way.

The Three Sisters Island series remains one of my favorites, and this third and final edition in the trilogy is my favorite of the three. We see Blaine growing into the person God wants her to be, we see family learning how to love and grow together, and we see the impact that this beautiful island has had on the entire family's relationship.

I can't possibly recommend this one enough, and I know I'm going to have to reread this entire series in the future as I truly adored it.

Final Rating: 5/5.

Thanks so much to Revell for allowing me to advance read and review this!

I voluntarily read and reviewed a complimentary advance reader copy of this novel from the publisher (Revell) via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I was not required to give a positive review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Thanks so much for reading guys! I'm praying that you all have a great start to your week :)
