A fun read. Light, but easy to relate to. It actually sparked a really great book club conversation and dialogue. The end-of-book discussion questions were great.

AAhhh just like my summer's on Gem Beach! Not really but a girl can dream!

This book had a lot of layers that made it book club worthy for discussion; mother/daugther, sister/sister, family dynamics, romance, friendships, illness, hard times. The atmosphere of the book made it perfect for a summer book club pick. Who wouldn't want a book store on the beach?!!
