If you can get past some of the dated attitudes, like how women are supposed to want to spend their entire lives in their hometowns, it's a pretty good romance.
The characters are engaging. Everyone is fairly balanced: none of the characters are sanctified or vilified to extremes. The settings were intriguing, if a little on the idealistic side. The romantic plot seems tamped down compared to current romance books, but it shows a more well-developed world, particularly with Ruth's strong ties to her family.
People who like romances with Nancy Drew style adventures would love this book.

Scottish lass hunting for tomboy sister depends on charter owner. An odd unrequited love with no real tension or misunderstandings between the principles. Georgie is found and the girls return home. All very low key.

An enjoyable trip to the Caribbean with some sailing and family dynamics and an interesting hero.
Ruth is the responsible older sister, trying to find her younger sister who was the boyish adventurer of the family. Their mother is sick and worry about her missing daughter isn't helping. Thrown together in the search, the romance between Ruth and Logan is charming and inevitable.
