Mini Review: “Is It Any Wonder” by Courtney Walsh

Is It Any Wonder is Courtney Walsh’s second “Nantucket Love Story” romance novel! I really enjoyed the audiobook version recently. This is one of those novels I needed to have in ebook AND paperback format 🙂 those are rare gems!

I loved returning to Walsh’s Nantucket for the setting of this romance! Deeply emotional themes of forgiveness and possibility intertwine with the reconciliation of Cody and Lou as they navigate a second chance at friendship and romance. While the history of Cody and Lou’s complicated past is revealed, their relationship goes from surprising rescue to tentative truce to a realistic connection of the heart. Secondary characters add vivid dimension and provide surprises to the story, strengthening the lessons of forgiveness and moving on from bitterness the protagonists learn. I loved the genuineness and drive of Louisa’s character and the sometimes-grumpy, reluctant heroism of Cody. Their chemistry (!!!! all the sparks) unfolds again the backdrop of a coastal Nantucket setting that epitomizes a “beach read” romance. ❤
