There is comfort in its predictability. Told from 3 perspectives, this novel deals with 3 grieving women trying to move forward in their lives. You can put this down and easily pick the story up right where you left off. The dialogue is simple. Resolutions quick. I was bored by it. Thanks to NetGalley for the arc.

Huge thank you to

@macmillan.audio @stmartinspress and @netgalley for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

First of all I wish I was sitting in one of those chairs right now on the beach reading! Anyway, this would be a great book to bring to the beach. Two grown sisters and their aunt take the summer to figure out who they truly want to be and this one summer will change all of their lives. I love a book set in the summer and this one is full of summer vibes, growth and love.

A cute summer read but nothing too flashy here. A little glimpse into small town life but make it a beach town instead of the middle of nowhere. I do love that they all found ways to make their relationships work, including saving two marriages. I was a little nervous it was going to be a divorcees escape to the beach type thing but it wasn’t that at all. Cute and tactful.

The Seaside Sisters

By Pamela Kelley

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

Part romance, part women’s fiction, *The Seaside Sisters* is an ode to sisterhood in all its messy forms. Sisters Hannah and Sara are mourning the loss of their mom, while their Aunt Maddie is grieving her sister. What better place to do that than on the Cape?

Set on Cape Cod for one summer, Maddie attempts to save her marriage, Sara struggles to find her place as a working mom and wife, and Hannah just wants to get her next book written after a breakup.

Cape Cod is my happy place, so I’m always delighted when it’s the setting for a good book, especially with our annual summer vacation there coming up soon.

I loved this book so much and really identified with Sara and her struggle to be seen and appreciated. This was my first Pamela Kelley book, but it won’t be my last.

A huge thank you to the author Pamela Kelley, the publisher St. Martins Press and NetGalley for the arc copy of this book
