A warm, twisty island romance that balances humour and heart

The Name Game is a charming, character‑driven romance set on a close‑knit island where secrets and second chances ripple through a small community. Told through alternating diary entries and emails, the novel explores grief, recovery, anxiety, and the complicated desire for parenthood with warmth and sensitivity. The island cast is delightful and the emotional stakes feel real; the tone moves between gentle humour and heartfelt moments. If you enjoy contemporary romances with strong ensemble casts and a comforting sense of place, this is a satisfying read — though readers who prefer to avoid fertility and childbirth scenes should be aware those themes are central to the story. Recommended for: fans of cosy contemporary romance, character-led stories, and novels with a strong sense of community.
