This book was a lot and I mean that in the best way possible. If youβve read in a jam then you know how quirky and chaotic the town of Friendship is. But this book kicked it up a notch.
I loved Sunny and Beck. I loved them together but also individually.
This book made me wish I had a friends group like Sunny.
One small complaint was that the book dragged a bit in the middle and the βsuspenseβ couldβve been fleshed out a bit more.

I fell in love with Friendship, Rhode Island when I read In A Jam last year, and I was so excited to return to it for Shucked!
After winning an old bait shop in a poker game, Sunny Du Jardin finds herself back in her hometown of Friendship opening up a vegan cafe with three of her friends. The oyster bar next door, however, is currently under the grumpy management of her brother's best friend, Beckett Loew, who was the biggest annoyance to her during childhood.
Beckett moved to Friendship as a teen, managed to escape after school, but has now made an unwanted return to help clean up a family mess. What he didn't expect was for the daily thorn in his side to be none other than his best friend's little sister...who was no longer so little.
The way these two hate each other and drive each other crazy was so highly amusing. While Sunny certainly lives up to her name, she certainly knows how to hold a grudge and push the buttons of one, Beckett Loew. But even decades of hate and grudges is no match for the tension burning between the two. Even when boiling mad at Sunny, Beckett had people on speed dial ready to rush to her assistance whenever she ran into trouble. The way that man cares for the people that matter in his life...
This book was a combination of sweet and spicy and filled with laughs. It is definitely a long one, but overall, I enjoyed it. I especially loved all of the supporting characters, especially Beckett's manager, Mel, and Sunny's three partners. The cameos from our In a Jam crew were also wonderful. I'm so eager for Decker's book!

Kate Canterbury heroes are just SOOOO GOOD. Starts off slow but the payoff is SO worth it!! The small town dynamic is just perfect, and the supporting characters are perfectly balanced.
