A review by smolek
Cocoa Beach by Beatriz Williams

4.0

Overall, I really enjoyed this novel. The ride was great. But I feel like this author is really strong in some areas and really weak in others. I'm starting to notice that while I enjoy the journey the books take me on, the denouement is usually a letdown. It's like she realizes the book needs to end at some point and concocts far-fetched scenarios to bring the book to a close. I did enjoy the first 85% of the book, about the time in Europe during the war and in Florida a few years after. Note that the time in Florida is a few pages in Cocoa Beach and the rest inland. Still nice, but not what the title and cover lead you to believe.
