THE BOOKSHOP BY THE BAY is an easy story to get lost in for a day. It's about friendships, family, and starting over. I loved Jess and Allison's relationship and how they were always there for each other. Their daughters' always supported their mothers' and that just made me smile even more. If you like heartwarming stories with great endings, this one is for you! It would make the perfect beach read for the summer. This was my first Pamela Kelley book and I'm looking forward to reading her previous works.

Many Thanks to NetGalley and Macmillian Audio for my gifted copy.

💭Thoughts:
I loved this sweet, heart warming story! I really fell in love with the characters. I found myself really engaged and looking forward to their new starts and second chances at love and life.

I think because of some current situations in my life, this book really spoke to me. I love the idea of starting over with a beautiful bookshop in a small town. Maybe one day.

The narrator has the perfect warm, calming voice for this story. She did a fantastic job bringing the characters to life.

I highly recommend this fun, clean, engaging story. It definitely put a smile on my face.
