Summary
Two exes. Only one island. Paradise just got complicated.
After a painful break-up with her boyfriend, Grace is ready to leave Toronto for a fresh start and accepts a position as caretaker and B&B host on a remote Irish island for the summer.
It’s backbreaking work, with no electricity and just a donkey and a handful of guests for company, but she’s sure this is exactly where she needs to be. And putting three thousand miles between you and your ex is never a bad thing, right?
Yet, when she arrives on the island, her carefully planned journey of healing and self-discovery falls apart in an instant. Because her fellow caretaker is none other than Nathan: the very ex she’s running from.
They clash spectacularly, but Grace is determined to win the breakup by seeing this summer through, or at least outlasting Nathan. One thing is certain: this island isn’t big enough for the both of them.

Critic Reviews
“Only One Island masterfully balances laugh-out-loud hijinks with angst, all wrapped up in what could be a swoony movie from the early aughts. It’s fun, it’s fresh, it will make you want to book a trip to a remote island in Ireland. No one does a romcom like Catherine Walsh.”—Stephanie Parente, author of Return to Sender
"When it comes to a Catherine Walsh book, I'm looking to have a real Dr. Seuss experience because I would read it on an airplane (and I have, 10/10 recommend), I would read it in the bath (I don't like baths but I'd change my personality), I would read it at work (shhh don't tell my boss), I would even read it on a remote Irish island (where I want to move after reading this book). The gently snarky voice, the hilariously awkward situations, the beautifully tender moments, the feeling of pure joy and escape . . . nobody's doing it quite like Catherine Walsh." —Alicia Thompson, USA Today bestselling author of In Every Possible Way
“Warm, funny and achingly romantic, Only One Island is a love letter to second chances. The kind of book you’ll want to climb inside!” —Melanie Murphy, influencer and author of If Only and Glass Houses
