I like the idea of three friends in different generations and stages of their lives, but it was really boring and really white.

The Boardwalk Bookshop is a good way to kick off the summer. I really enjoyed the friendship between these women and how that grows into a found family. We also get plenty of romance, and this one is steamier than I've seen from Susan Mallery before. That's not a bad thing by any means, it was just unexpected. All three women are relatable, and the romances are easy to root for. This one is a good combination of women's fiction and romance with neither overshadowing the other. If you're looking for something to get lost in for a weekend curled up on the couch or a beach read for vacation, this one is a good choice. The story is engaging, the characters are likable, and the dialogue is witty - definitely an entertaining read.

This book grew on me a little bit after a start that seemed too trite. Ultimately it was okay. Nothing special for me.
