“Jannette does a good job of bringing together three different women through a shared connection, and showing how a lifetime of experience can bring both a willingness and reluctance for change. Just as in real life, the change Cathy, Betsy, and Linda encounter may not necessarily be the change they were prepared for. But Jannette’s storytelling makes the heartening case that it’s while facing hurdles that the women open their hearts, learn to share their fears, and form new friendships within the community.”

Mouse Island Reviews
Amazon Editorial Review
"Life and Love on Mouse Island by Andrée Jannette is a tender and uplifting contemporary romance. Author Andrée Jannette writes with a grounded sense of people and what makes them tick. I was delighted to find an older protagonist taking the reins in this tale to show us the quiet courage required to begin again at any age. Isabel is a brilliant central figure for the story, and one that audiences get to know thanks to the close narrative structure and detailed, emotive language that Jannette uses to bring her to life. This descriptive prowess extends into every moment of the novel, and the island setting is rendered with warmth and gentle charm, offering the perfect backdrop for a late-in-life love story as Mouse Island brings us surprise after surprise. The plot twists with smooth transitions into new, amusing, and heartwarming situations, but there's also a deeper message of healing and self-reflection. More than anything, this is a story about hope, and the storytelling around the healing power of community, rescue animals, and unexpected second chances is naturally included in the dialogue and plot lines of the ensemble cast of characters that Isabel meets. Overall, Life and Love on Mouse Island is a deeply human and relatable story about grief, reinvention, and the secrets that shape us." — Readers Favorite
