Paradise Cove by Jenny Holiday
4.25
Another fun read from Jenny Holiday. I read this series out of order - 3, 1, 2 - and now want to go back and reread Sandcastle Beach. I know there is overlap between the two books but the only event that stood out was Jake having Law make the morning pizza.
Two things were slightly off putting, the minimizing of Jake’s wholly inappropriate relationship with Sarah, why not age him up just a couple years and get him out of high school? And, I know this was intentional, I struggled with the level of guilt Jake carried and felt he deserved. But my professional background includes funeral/death care so I have a very different perspective. I was thrilled he finally made it to grief counseling in the end. Overall, great piece of this series.
