Synopsis: Jess loves her work as a high-profile lawyer in Charleston. But when her husband cheats, she retreats to her childhood home on Cape Cod with her thirty-year-old daughter, Caitlin, hoping to regroup wit her longtime best friend, Alison. 

Alison's career has taken a hit after twenty years as an editor for the magazine Cape Cod Living. But when she learns her beloved bookstore on the Cape is looking for new ownership, a new dream starts to form. 

As the two friends reopen the bookstore, they also open themselves up to the magic of second
chances.

Review: I'm still not ready to dive into a heavy novel since reading The Women. Additionally, a reading group's March Reading Challenge is to read a book with a book club or book store in the title.

This was a fun read for the genre, and put me in the mood for summer.
