BOOK BY: Nancy Naigle
This is a lovely beach read!
I haven’t read the previous books of this series, but it didn’t detract from reading this story. There’s enough detail from the other books that helped me understand what was going on.
Nina is trying to start over with her fourteen-year-old daughter on Whelk’s Island. There’s quite a bit of drama that unfolds for them. In the end, it’s a lovely story of mother-daughter relationships, the bond of family, and friendship. These two characters are relatable – almost felt like I knew them personally by the end of the story!
The story is filled with a lovely supporting cast. Some are downright loveable, whereas others make life miserable for everyone they meet. One of the main supporting characters reminded me of Jason Lee’s character in Heartbreakers – kind, cool, and the beachside restaurant owner where all the locals hang out. Fisher provides the stability that both Nina and Kendra need.
This is a feel-good story with just enough conflict to make it a perfect beachside read (with the perfect setting!).
I received a copy of the book from NetGalley. All opinions expressed are my own.
