4 stars

This is basically the grownup version of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants - except they share a store on the beach, not a pair of jeans. There's romance, big life choices, and lots of women supporting women (which I can totally get behind).

Our main cast consists of three women in their 20s/30s. There's Bree, a beautiful and athletic widow who has closed herself off to the idea of love (or has she?). Then there's Mikki, a divorcee who is struggling to find out what she wants from the next stage of her life. Lastly, we have Ashley, who thought she had the man of her dreams – until she realized their dreams might not actually align.

I really enjoyed many of the themes presented here and how they were presented. From divorce and death to heartbreak and moving on, there's a lot to unpack. I never found myself bored, and I felt truly invested in the characters and their struggles.

My one complaint: this story is told in three different POVs, and I felt the switches between characters were a little disjointed. Other than that, this is a great summer read and one I'd recommend to many.
