Brief Synopsis: Both Jillian Banner and Mark Chambers are mourning the loss of Gabe (Jillian's brother and Mark's best friend), as well as their relationship. Gabe has left behind not only his sister and best friend, but a pregnant fiancee and a business that is being investigated by the IRS as well. Jillian and Mark lend their support to Gabe's fiancee, and begin to rekindle their romance. Meanwhile, Jillian takes on the hardest challenge she's ever faced: attempting to sell captive-bred seahorses in her aquatic shop. And when the truths that Mark tried to keep from Jillian come out, she has to learn to be her own anchor in life.
My Review:
I give this book a 5 out of 5.
What I loved best about this book, is that the author portrayed very realistic emotions and reactions from the characters. Each character was well developed and had both good and bad sides to them. No one was perfect, like you see in some novels.
The story of Mark's betrayal of Jillian, causing the end of their relationship, slowly unfolds throughout the novel. The reasons why he did these things, the things that her brother kept from her and the reasons why, and Jillian's realization of how much she has always depended on someone else to take care of her and her desire to change this, show how well the author understands to develop a well-rounded character with flaws. The character growth throughout the story is simply perfect.
It was very easy to love Jillian, Mark, and Gabe. It was also very easy to feel the level of betrayal Jillian felt when she finds out the whole truth.
The author did an incredible job researching seahorses and everything else having to do with an aquatics shop, as this is exactly the type of store Jillian owns. The seahorse theme was a well utilized plot point throughout the whole novel.
There's really nothing I didn't like about Anchor Me.

I loved Anchor Me from the first moments I started reading! It's nice that it's a super fast read, yet held my interest the entire time while giving plenty of details to really keep the story alive. I can't wait to read Megan Erickson's next books!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely! It'll be great to see how she grows with her next novel as an author.
