Sadly, summer is coming to an end. If you’re like me, you would hold on to the warmer temperatures and more relaxed schedule if you could. Although we can’t stop the changing of the seasons, we can always count on a book as a means of escape!
I have often heard of books described as “beach lit”, and if there is an author that belongs in that category, it’s Julie Carobini. Julie’s novels are set in California, and the beach is always a prominent part of her characters’ lives. In Julie’s newest book, Sweet Waters
Although Tara remembers Otter Bay fondly, she is soon confronted with her family history. She quickly realizes that her past is full of secrets, and not all citizens of Otter Bay welcome her return. Of course, no beach lit is without a little romance, and Tara can’t help falling for Trent, the handsome firefighter. Through it all, Tara questions her past, her future, and her faith.
Sweet Waters
