Island Affair was a fun book (like the cover!), a perfect escapist reading for these times. I really liked that Latin culture was weaved into the story, however I found the italicized Spanish to be a bit distracting. I do realize that it's correct to italicize foreign words, but given that this is a novel that includes Spanish as an integral part of the character's essence, the italics' function to highlight that "foreign nature" seems jarring and I believe a bit of artistic license in foregoing that formatting rule would have been justified. Aside from that, the Spanish was spot on, and I loved that. It's nice and refreshing to see us represented well.
