Not much to say except this was an absolutely enjoyable love story set in a historical time period, WWII, on an island in Polynesia. Perhaps it became more special since I read it yesterday - Veterans Day (in the US)- and I couldn't help but think that one day no one will even remember what an impossibly difficult life it once was for our gay servicemen (and women).Normally I do not like the shorter stories because they often seem to have something missing but "Islands" is perfect as written - it didn't need one more word to create a heartwarming love and perfect HEA for René and Gabe. Definitely one of those books you tuck away for a reread every once in a while when you need a smile on your face and a warm and fuzzy feeling in your heart. Highly recommended.
