Cozy beach read!
Leah loses her job and her fiancé dumps her. She moves back to her hometown. While there she decides to open a bookstore. The bookstore brings people from the community into her life. Everyone is going thru something and the bookstore brings them together and helps them get thru it all.
I enjoyed the beach setting and also
A bookstore. What could be better? I really enjoyed the secondary characters in this story. Brad is her first employee, who quickly becomes her friend. When his grandmother kicks him out for being gay, Leah becomes his found family. Luke is the love interest. He has had a crush on her since high school. Eudora is a widower, who has suffered major panic attacks since her husband’s death. She rarely leaves her house but the bookstore gives her a renewed sense of purpose. Lucy is a high school student, whose sister has been in a major car accident. She is looking for a job to get her out of the house and distract her. Each chapter is told from one of their points of view.i do wish that Brad had chapters with his point of view. We learn about him thru Leah. I really loved his character and think the story could have benefited greatly from having his prospective.
I really enjoyed the audiobook. The narrator does a great job.
