A Charming book about second chances, starting over, and love.
Kitty Roberts thought she would be purchasing her dream home with her boyfriend until her whole world falls apart. Needing a new start, she goes to Pennystrand Village, a place she once visited with her family. She takes a six-month lease, agrees to a short-term job and slowly immerses herself in village life. She enjoys the beaches, the weather, her new neighbors, and has that ‘oops’ first meeting with Cory Hudson, the villages famous surfer.
Kitty realizes that she is happy even though she has been getting strange looks from the villagers and some have even told her she resembles someone. She and her sister, look back to their vacation in the village and an argument her sister overheard between their parents.
While Corey is off chasing the waves, Kitty decides to chase her dream. She loves the village, helping people find their dream homes has given her meaning. Will Kitty find what she has been looking for?
I first read a Tracy Rees book when I picked up The Little Christmas House. I loved her characters and storytelling. When I saw this book was coming out, I had to get my hands (eyes) on a copy. I love how she creates communities full of interesting characters. She also writes characters that I come to care for and root for. Kitty is such a likeable character that I rooted for her the entire time.
This was such a charming and heartwarming book about second chances and starting over. I enjoyed watching Kitty not only grow but win the villagers over. I loved her interactions and the warmth that was shown to her by her boss.
This was a beautifully written book that is the first in a series. A series that I look forward to reading.
