Bree loves owning a bookshop. While she loathes writers, she does love books. Her decision to move her bookshop to an oceanfront location which she shares with two other stores was the best decision she’d made. She’s bonding with the two other business owners and life is good.
Ashley gave up a career in physical therapy to pursue her dream of baking. There was a little guilt regarding her wasted college degree, but she knows that her muffins and treats make her much happier, and others as well. She’s got a good life, a great man, and hopefully everything she dreams of down the road.
When Mikki’s kids grew a bit older, she felt a little lost with how to spend her time. When a local gift shop was up for sale, she knew it was what she wanted. Working in her husband’s family business wasn’t where she wanted to be. And then the divorce. Now she’s decided to move the business to the location with Bree & Ashley. She and her husband co-parent at an amazing level. And she has Earl. There really isn’t much more that she needs.
The three women have established a Friday tradition of champagne on the beach. Here they toast to their week behind and the weeks ahead. Their friendship and success. Week by week they are getting closer to one another, and closer to knowing what each of them want for their lives.
This is chick-lit at it’s finest. Not that men couldn’t enjoy this story about three amazing women, but chick-lit is all about the girls. Each of these women has a story to tell and an issue to resolve. We watch each of them grow emotionally throughout the novel, and as chick-lit should be, wraps up neatly at the end. This book isn’t about fairytale endings. It has a healthy dose of hard-core reality. The issues these women are facing aren’t necessarily easy ones. What is wonderful is the way that their friendships deepen over time, and the support that each woman gives the other. It’s a lovely story about women and friendship. Also, no matter how strong we can be individually, we are much stronger together.
Really good one!!!

I wanted a nice fluff book and this was more of a “problems with existing relationships written at an elementary school comprehension level” book. I kept telling myself to quit reading but for some reason I finished it. Do not recommend. Even at the end of the book the three main characters were blending together. I need a little more bite, even in my fluff books.

It's been a while since I read a book by Susan Mallery, so I thought I would give this one a go. It started out slow to me, but once I was halfway through it took me no time to finish. It had everything I expect from a Mallery book! Good friends, family, love, a bit of drama, and a few scandalous bits.

This was ok. I kept reading only really to see if the obvious foreshadowing came true and it pretty much did. It was predictable. A little annoying how the love happened with all three women so quickly. A little unrealistic. I enjoyed more the relationship between the women which was more developed. It wasn't terrible, a good beach read, but I wasn't moved.
A new addition to my Susan Mallery Top 5 Favorite Books list. I really loved this one.
