(  ) jbarr5 | Nov 10, 2015 | ) JudithDCollins | Nov 27, 2014 | Kitsy, mom to Riley, Maisy and Adalee owns the local bookstore. Single mom Riley stayed in the family’s resort town, rearing her son and running the bookstore. Maisy ran off to California after high school graduation and only came back once for her father’s funeral. Adalee is partying her way through college. The bookstore building’s two hundredth anniversary, and Kitsy’s birthday are to be combined into one party. When Kitsy falls and breaks her leg, Riley rallies her sisters to come home earlier than expected to help with the bookstore and the party. Many secrets from the past are exposed, and old wounds healed while the sisters work together. This was a fairly predictable read, with likeable characters. It’s the almost-perfect summer beach book.

In the small seaside town of Palmetto Beach, the Sheffield sisters -- responsible Riley, vivacious Maisy, and fun-loving Adalee -- reunite to celebrate their mother's birthday and try to save the family bookstore, which has long been a beloved gathering place in their tight-knit community. But June also marks the return of Mack Logan, who thirteen years ago was Riley's best friend and Maisy's teenage crush. His choice of Maisy over Riley during that pivotal summer destroyed the special closeness between the sisters, and sent their lives in very different directions.Now Riley, a single mom who doubts any man will ever live up to the ideal Mack Logan, must work with her sisters while hiding a shattering secret about their mother. Maisy, a California designer, still blames Riley for ruining her one true love. And Adalee, a college coed, resents the family's intrusion into her summer plans. When Mack arrives, all three sisters are forced to confront their long-held beliefs about the conflicts that tore them apart and the bonds of love and loyalty that still draw them together. Will they allow the past to define the future? No library descriptions found. |
