This book synopsis appealed easily to me. The drama, the war, the characters, the lighthouse on the cover, pretty much all of it appealed to me.
And I did care enough for the characters so they would hold my attention. This author's writing style is beautiful and easy to read, so that is another positive point. Multiple POVs and timelines also usually please in books, especially in historical fiction books.
However, I felt something was missing. Probably it's a *me* thing, considering that everyone else seems to be really loving this book.
There were many times that I felt this book was getting a little too long.
I'll be honest: I'm much more of an audiobook consumer, so sometimes I get a little bored with long books. I genuinely believe I could benefit more from this book if I listened to the audio version.
I'll definitely read this book again, with the audiobook format, when it is officially published.
But I do recommend ECHOS OF US to readers who enjoy historical fiction with dramatic stories about love and redemption.

Having been to St. Simon's several times, I was anxious to read this book. Story is set in two time periods (WW II and present) two sisters are hired to coordinate a reunion of the families of three men who were bought together in the past. on this tiny barrier island. I got throught the book but felt like it was slow in parts. . For historical novel readers, this book will probably appeal to them.

As always, Lake Union Publishing doesn't steer me wrong. I realized once I'd started that I'd read the previous book from the author. This is told in different timelines, which I enjoy. Three men, trying to make sense of the past, and three women in current times, linking them together. I loved this book, and I highly recommend it.
Thank you to Lake Union and NetGalley for a digital ARC of this title in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.

I loved the book and the multiple pov’s and timelines. I enjoyed the ups and downs of the plot. I thought the characters really grew in the story. I thought overall the book was a great story.
