A review by k_myers
The Bookstore on the Beach by Brenda Novak

5.0

While the ending becomes a bit more typical cheesy romance, this book kept me turning the pages! I couldn’t put it down or stop talking about it. I LOVED having the secret past of the grandma mixing with the mom’s missing husband and then the teenage daughter dealing with a possible pregnancy and exploring her sexuality (all of which is covered early on in the book so no spoilers here)! The three big plot lines weave together seamlessly while also exploring second chance romance, teenage summers, friendships, and cancer/diseases. If all of her books are like this, sign me up for more Brenda Novak!
