A review by amysbooketlist
The Boardwalk Bookshop by Susan Mallery

4.0

Such a great story about friendship and overcoming trauma. These women figure out their lives and show that you can forge new friendships as adults.

There is a romantic element to each woman’s story, but I wouldn’t say that’s the focus of the book. I love that Susan Mallery can write so beautifully about women, their relationships, and their own personal journeys without focusing on finding themselves within a romance. The journey is is as important as the happily ever after.

My only complaint is the sheer volume of stories in this one book. Normally, I hate bouncing around, but somehow this was seemless, though I did wish I got to spend more one-on-one time with each woman. This book would have made a great series!

Plus, I think I need to steal the idea of #Champagne Fridays! Popping bubbles to celebrate another week in the books.

Conclusion
Women’s fiction lovers should snatch this one up, perfect for the beach reading.
