Book Review: Where It All Began by Lindsay Gibson

Where It All Began is a heartfelt story about family, connection, and forgiveness. What really stood out to me were the layered relationships between Willow, Grayson, and Tyler. Each one shares a deep bond with Terra Cove on Martha’s Vineyard, and the island itself feels like another character—holding their dreams, memories, and heartbreaks.

Family sits at the center of every decision they make, and it was fascinating to follow their journeys from high school friends to adults balancing loyalty, second chances, and the weight of the past. The story is profoundly relatable and beautifully written. It’s one of those books that sweeps you in from the very first page and doesn’t let go.

The unexpected twist that upends everything for Willow adds both tension and emotional punch, keeping the pages turning right through to the end. I’d jump at a chance to revisit these characters and see where life takes them next. Warm, compelling, and full of heart, Where It All Began is an absolute standout.
