What a lovely story! Hannah is a romance writer who has just suffered a breakup and the death of her mother. This has combined to give her a major writing block. So, she heads to Cape Cod to spend the summer with her family. Sara, her sister, has had a lot of family obligations and now wants to return to the book industry and rekindle her marriage.

I love a book with wonderful Cape Cod vibes, lots of books, coffee, and some summer romance. I really enjoyed the story, and the narration was great.

Thank you to the author, netgalley, St. Martin's Press, and MacMillan Audio for the opportunity to read an ALC in exchange for an honest review.

The Seaside Sisters follows sisters, Hannah and Sara who recently lost their mother, and their aunt, Maddie all spending the summer in Chatham. Hannah is a Brooklyn-based romance author who is trying to write her second book, Sara is an overworked and underappreciated mother of 4, and Maddie is trying to reconcile with her husband. I enjoyed the different characters and storylines, though I thought they would have been much stronger if they were written in first person. The third person perspective left the book feeling a little flat to me.

The characters were enjoyable for the most part, though I had a really hard time reading Sara's storyline because her husband was so insufferable. Overall the book was light and believable, would be great for a beach read or to read on an airplane.
