This talented author has written a page turner. Cape Cod, a favorite setting…realistic characters…love and romance…a book store. The recipe for a quiet afternoon curled up with a story about a couple who just might find each other..a great beach read…it isn’t easy to stop reading before the ending…might be one of our new favorite authors…thanks Netgalley.

Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to review, The Sandy Page Bookshop by Hannah McKinnon.

Great read! I loved the story of Leah and Luke, and the many other characters that were in this novel. The characters were very likable, and easy to get lost at Cape Cod.

Leah lost her job, fiancée, and had no place to go. Then she decided to return home. She was able to start over in her small town, bump into so past friends, and regain her footing.

Luke was a regular on the island, and never left home but he started his own business that he worked at tirelessly. He always made time for Leah’s demands at the bookshop though.

Then there’s Lucy, Ella, and her family that had their own ups and downs throughout the novel. The author did a great job weaving these stories together and intertwining them seamlessly.

Pull up you beach chair because this is the perfect summer read. This book is a joy to read and told from multiple POVs. There is romance, starting over, a beach bookstore, and some fun. This was a great pick me up book to read.

The Sandy Page Bookshop is a wonderful, uplifting read about starting over, finding comfort and new companions. Told from varied perspectives author Hannah McKinnon’s characters range from mid teens through the older years. The interactions between them make this a story difficult to put down unfinished. I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book from NetGalley. Highly recommend.

This book, threw me off at first. The premise id read about centered on the main romance so I was surprised to see multiple POVs beyond the two of them, but those side characters ended up being my favorite part of the story. Overall, what’s not to love about a romance set in a beach bookstore!

The Sandy Page Bookshop by Hannah McKinnon is your next great beach read! Leah, after losing her job and her fiancé, retreats to her childhood home on Cape Cod to lick her wounds. While there, she sees an historic home for rent. She can see it as a beautiful bookstore, so rents it and transforms it into her dream with the help of Brad, a student on summer break, Lucy, a student who is going through some severe family trauma, Eudora, a widow with anxiety and Luke, an old friend and contractor who had a crush on Leah back in high school. Through their efforts, they put together a bookstore that is not just a store, but a community, with a few fun relationships thrown in on the side. I thoroughly enjoyed my trip to The Sandy Page Bookshop and I'm sure you will too! Thank you to the author, publisher and NetGalley for an ARC of this novel in exchange for my honest review.
