Summer at Oyster Bay by Jenny Hale
4.0
You can always count on Jenny Hale to write a heart-warming novel filled with love, laughter and happily ever after. Although the story-line was a bit predictable, the novel held my attention from beginning to end and was thoroughly enjoyable.
Summer at Oyster Bay is a story about a woman named Emily that just moved back home to Clearwater -a small coastal town near Chesapeake Bay- after turning town a marriage proposal from her now ex-boyfriend. Emily left it all behind three years ago to move to Richmond with her boyfriend Brad but over time she realized big city life wasn’t for her, and now she’s back to her small town roots and back to square one.
Temporarily living with her grandmother on the family farm in Oyster Bay brings back old history and countless memories for Emily. She just took a job as an event coordinator at Water’s Edge Inn, which has a new owner from New York named Charles Peterson who purchased the Inn as an investment. He happens to be single and very attractive and has absolutely no plans to stick around past the re-modeling of his investment.
I enjoyed Hale’s writing and loved the main theme of the novel of family, life and love mixed with a combination of holding on to old memories and making new ones. Family and loved ones are the most important things in life and it’s important to be there and support one another through anything that comes their way. Home is wherever you make it, but sometimes when a place has so much history it’s hard to let go and move on.
