The Bookshop by the Bay by Pamela Kelley

lighthearted fast-paced

3.0

Thank you St. Martin's Griffin and NetGalley for the eARC of Bookshop By The Bay!  All opinions in this review are my own.

I was first drawn to Bookshop By The Bay because of the synopsis.  After Jess finds out her husband is having an affair, she invests in a bookstore with her best friend on Cape Cod.  While I like the premise of this book, I found the execution to be a little lacking.  The writing is very dialogue heavy, which is not my favorite.  Also, what I thought was going to end up being the big conflict of the novel was resolved quickly and without much drama.  Overall, this is still a good friendship story and would be a great summer beach read!
