This was a fun, quirky book, covering the delights and curiosities of many of the islands in the region known as the Salish Sea, which stretches all the way from southern Puget Sound in Washington State to the northern reaches of Vancouver Island in British Columbia. I especially enjoyed Chandler O'Leary's sketches and hand-drawn maps, which enliven virtually every page. This book is a treasure trove for travelers and armchair travelers alike. The only sadness in this joyous book is that it is Chandler O'Leary's last. She died suddenly of acute pneumonia in April 2023. She was only 41 years old.

I thought this was a wonderful travel book, full of beautiful illustrations of the area. I've only been to the Pacific Northwest once, and never to any of the islands, but I loved reading about the area, and it made me think about how fun it would be to go in person one day.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
