"The point of life is to be alive in the world, to feel every emotion, even the messy and painful ones. To challenge yourself, to take risks, to find beauty in the imperfections and be grateful for the opportunity to experience it all."
The Beach Trap is the perfect summer read for your backyard, pool, beach, or even snuggled on the couch with your favorite reading companion πΎ. I'm always in awe of how two authors can come together and create a story. Although sometimes, when reading a co-written book, I can tell the difference in writing styles, that was not the case with the Beach Trap; it was seamlessly written.
As for the characters, Blake was my cup of tea from her first chapter - I loved her determination and unwavering love for her grandfather. Conversely, Kat was not a character I identified with, and she was a bit too much for me. But then I began to appreciate her and loved reading along as Kat's character development progressed. I even loved the girl's romantic interests (hello, Noah π).
The Beach Trap is more a novel on friendship and sisterhood than romance (which I needed). But, don't get me wrong, some romance was mixed into the storyline, and I appreciated the excitement the steamier scenes added to the book.
By the end of the story, I loved Kat, Blake, Noah, Henry, and Max (but let's be honest, I loved Max from the beginning πΆ).

For those who enjoyed watching The Parent Trap and It Takes Two, I recommend you check out The Beach Trap by Alison Hammer and Bradeigh Godfrey (aka Ali Brady).
