My Recommendation
The Bookshop by the Bay

This book was the perfect back yard read for my Memorial Day Weekend. This is a sweet book about mothers and daughters, life challenges and changes.

Jess and Allison have been best friends for years and find themselves with changes in their lives. Jobs are lost, relationships end and begin. Not only do these two friends find life changes but their daughters do too. Caitlyn and Julie slowly find themselves becoming friends and starting over too. This all happens in the small Cape Cod town of Chatham.

I enjoyed this book but it did take a little while to get use to all the different characters. I found this book to be the typical read. I did wish there was a little more drama with the main characters. I listened to the audio version of this book and the narrator did a fantastic job with the various character voices. The book was an easy listen and I sure it is a great read. This author did a great job in the detail present for this small town, the bookstore and coffee shop. This is a well “written” book and I do recommend it.

For me it was a great book about the power family, friendship and second chances.

Thank you to NetGalley, St.Martin Press and Pamela Kelley for the ARC of a this book.
