Turquoise is a well written novel set in a beautiful maritime location. I loved the story alternating between the past and the present. It was written in a way that transported you to that time and place and you were there with the characters. When a novel makes me laugh, cry, get angry, all the emotions, I give it 5 stars. Can't wait for M. Ashley Anderson's next book!

Not my usual genre, but I quite enjoyed this book by a local author!

Loved this book, written by a local author. A cozy read, felt like home

Never has a book felt more like home. From the setting, the southern NS charm, and the characters that you just can't help but love, this book will live rent-free in my mind for a long time.

If you're a reader and want to revisit summer days on the east coast with a strong dose of 1990s nostalgia, do yourself a favor and pick up "Turquoise" - especially if you've ever said you're from the point, down by the wharf, or a small coastal town. This book is for you.

Mel weaves themes of mental health, aging parents, first loves, and the pull for home throughout the book so authentically.

I can still smell the rose hip.

This book is so beautiful my written… I love how the tests of there child hood tore them apart yet put them back together in the end… everything happens for a reason and grandma seemed so sweet. I love how she knew they were meant for each other …. Didn’t expect her to leave them the house like she just knew this would bring them together….
