The Beach House
🌊 Starting Over at 43… in a Beach House?
Julie’s life falls apart when she discovers her husband of 21 years has been living a double life (cue the gasps 😱). Instead of wallowing, she makes the boldest move of her life—relocating to a small island off the coast of South Carolina. With nothing but heartbreak in her rearview mirror and a crumbling beach house on her hands, Julie is determined to rebuild—not just the house, but her entire life.
👩❤️👨 Romance, Renovations, and a Whole Lot of Sass
Let’s talk about the unexpected:
- The dreamy stranger who helps Julie fix up her new home 🛠️
- Her estranged sister who crashes the party with her yoga mats and flower crowns 🧘♀️💐
- And Dixie, the sassy bookstore owner you’ll wish was your real-life BFF 📖☕ (Seriously, someone give Dixie her own spin-off!)
The chemistry, tension, and humor among the characters are what make this book shine. It’s like Fixer Upper meets Sweet Home Alabama with a little bit of Eat Pray Love sprinkled in.
💔 From Betrayal to Breakthrough
What makes The Beach House more than just a beach read is Julie’s personal growth. You’ll root for her as she wrestles with her past, finds her voice, and learns what it means to truly live—not just survive. And just when you think she’s moved on, guess who tries to worm his way back into the picture? Yep… him. 😬
Will Julie choose safety… or freedom? That’s the emotional thread that keeps the pages turning.
