Description

"Anyone who's ever wanted to turn the page on their old life or felt the whispered promise of a new dream, and a fresh start will fall in love with Pamela Kelley's charming new novel." —New York Times bestselling author Mary Kay Andrews
TWO LIFELONG FRIENDS.
Jess loves her work as a high-profile lawyer in Charleston. But when her marriage implodes, she retreats to her childhood home on Cape Cod with her thirty-year-old daughter, Caitlin, hoping to regroup with her longtime best friend, Alison.
ONE BOOKSHOP BY THE BAY.
Alison's career has taken a hit after twenty years as an editor for the magazine Cape Cod Living. But when she learns her beloved bookstore on the Cape is looking for new ownership, a new dream starts to form.
AND THE SUMMER THAT COULD CHANGE EVERYTHING.
As the two friends reopen the bookstore, they also open themselves up to the magic of second chances.
"A wonderful multi-generational story about mothers, daughters, and friendship set in a quaint seaside town on Cape Cod. If you love talk of bookstores, delicious food and coffee shops, this one is for you!" —Rachel Hanna, author of the South Carolina Sunsets series

        April 17, 2023
        Kelley (Nashville Dreams) delivers a sweet but underdeveloped small-town contemporary that brings life-altering changes to two middle-aged best friends and their adult daughters. Lawyer Jessica Coleman’s 30-year marriage to Parker lost its romance long before the start of the book, but their shared life in Charleston, N.C., keeps the couple from talking divorce—until Parker’s secretary, just a few years older than their 30-year-old daughter, Caitlin, becomes pregnant with his child. Needing space, Jess flees to her childhood home in Cape Cod to spend time with her lifelong best friend, Alison Page. Caitlin, who needs help finding direction in her life, joins her. Their arrival immediately brings changes for the good all around: with Jess’s help, Alison’s able to realize her dream of owning a bookshop; her daughter, Julia, becomes close with Caitlin; and all four women find strength in each other to reach for real happiness—including real love. Walking the line between women’s fiction and romance, this cute, summery tale offers plenty of scenic views but stays fairly surface level when it comes to emotional development. As a result, readers will struggle to fully buy in to the women’s stories. Still, this is an easy pick to throw in a beach bag. Agent: Christina Hogrebe, Jane Rotrosen Agency.
