The Cafe at Beach End by RaeAnne Thayne
4.0
The Cafe at Beach End was everything I was hoping for to kick off my summer reading!
Meredith and Tori are cousins and grew up with a sisterly relationship until circumstances and decisions drove them apart. After being away for years, Meredith returns to the hometown that Tori never left, hoping to get her feet back under her. Will all the complexities of their lives bring them together again or continue to drive a wedge?
This book had a sweetness to it despite there being some heavy topics (death of a spouse, financial crimes). I found myself rooting for both Tori and Meredith regardless of what came of their relationship. They were doing the best they could within their own circumstances. And yet they never stopped being loving human beings.
Life is so complicated yet it is simple, and the author artfully wove it all together. There’s something to be said when the story is so well done that it could have been the story of your own neighbors.
This is the second time I’ve read one of RaeAnne Thayne’s books in the summer and I plan on making it a yearly tradition going forward!
