I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Summary:
Welcome to Black Dog Bay, a tiny seaside town in Delaware known as “the best place in America to bounce back from your breakup.” Home to the Better Off Bed-and-Breakfast, the Eat Your Heart Out bakery, and the Whinery bar, Black Dog Bay offers a haven for the suddenly single.
Flight attendant Summer Benson lives by two rules: Don’t stay with the same man for too long and never stay in one place. She’s about to break rule number one by considering accepting her boyfriend’s proposal—then disaster strikes and her world is shattered in an instant.
Summer heads to Black Dog Bay, where the locals welcome her. Even Hattie Huntington, the town’s oldest, richest, and meanest resident, likes her enough to give her a job. Then there’s Dutch Jansen, the rugged, stoic mayor, who’s the opposite of her type. She probably shouldn’t be kissing him. She definitelyshouldn’t be falling in love.
After a lifetime of globe-trotting, Summer has finally found a home. But Hattie has old scores to settle and a hidden agenda for her newest employee. Summer finds herself faced with an impossible choice: Leave Black Dog Bay behind forever, or stay with the ones she loves and cost them everything….
Review:
Okay, am I the only one who wishes Black Dog Bay was a real place, and close to my hometown? Not that my newlywed self needs it, but hey – in college it could have come in handy for a nice vacation spot when suddenly myself and four of my girlfriends all found ourselves single. I loved the concept of this book, and Kendrick was the perfect writer for this novel. There is snappy dialogue, tons of charm and wit throughout the pages, and a sassy heroine who constantly had me in giggles. A perfect beach read for the upcoming summer months, and chick lit fans should snap this one up!
5 stars
