Goodreads: One summer can change everything.

Brooklyn-based Hannah is a bestselling author struggling to write her second book after personal losses. Her older sister, Sara, still lives in Chatham, Cape Cod, where they grew up, and is married with four children. Once a dedicated librarian, Sara dreams of reviving her love affair with literature, but instead, she is stuck with too many family responsibilities and a fizzling marriage.

When Hannah gets the chance to retreat to her aunt’s oceanfront house in Chatham for the summer, it seems like just the thing to get her creative juices flowing. And she’ll be able to spend more time with Sara, who is eager to find her way back into the workforce, to do something rewarding and book-related. The pair will spend the summer making friends, rekindling romance― especially Spencer, an old acquaintance from high school-turned very hot grump― and opening themselves up to the magic of books and the beach.

Perfect for fans of Mary Kay Andrews, Susan Mallery and Brenda Novak, The Seaside Sisters will delight and charm you as easily as an ocean breeze.

Ope’s Opinion: This was such a good read. Exactly what I needed at the time I was reading it. It was a nice escape – the cape as the setting was a great get away, the characters were ones you want to be happy and the story lines ( there were a few ) kept my interest.

Each character in the book had his or her own story line that was tangled up with all the rest of them – there was a sister story, several romances and a lot of good friendships.

The ending was what you expect and want. The journey through their lives was a good way to spend some time. And the cover is beautiful!
