The Bookstore on the Beach - Review

  ~ I received no compensation and opinions are 100% my own or my family. ~






Synopsis:  

For fans of Elin Hilderbrand and Mary Kay Andrews, comes New York Times bestselling author Brenda Novak's newest standalone work of women's fiction, a big, sweeping novel about family and the ties that bind and challenge us. In this novel, three generations of women from the same family share a house and work together at a bookstore in Colonial Beach over the course of a summer.


How do you start a new chapter when you haven’t closed the book on the last one?


Eighteen months ago, Autumn Divac’s husband went missing. Her desperate search has yielded no answers—she still has no idea where he went or why. After being happily married for twenty years, she can’t imagine moving forward without him, but for the sake of their two teenage children, she has to try.

Autumn takes her kids home for the summer to the charming beachside town where she was raised. She seeks comfort by working alongside her mother and aunt at their quaint bookshop, only to learn that her daughter is facing a life change neither of them saw coming and her mother has been hiding a terrible secret for years. And when she runs into Quinn Vanderbilt—the boy who stole her heart in high school—old feelings start to bubble up again. Is she free to love him, or should she hold out hope for her husband’s return? She can only trust her heart…and hope it won’t lead her astray.


One (or more) Sentence Summary:  A dream of mine is to own a bookstore/craft store combination on a beach….we can all dream, right. The title of this book had be sold! 

A good read with good characters. Autumn, mother of two teenagers whose husband disappears. Her teenagers and their struggles to figure out who they really are and want to become. Her mother that has secrets buried and come bubbling up. Her long ago boyfriend stirs up feelings from the past. All of the above makes The Bookstore on the Beach a good read.

Perfect for your fall or winter book bag - so you can picture yourself in a quaint beach town during the cooler months.
