wow

I enjoyed this book so much.
lots of characters very well defined and easy to follow through the novel.
life's challenges displayed well and close lady friends shined best.
a warm, island invoked beach story.
easy to read or listen to while sitting on the beach or feel like you are on an island while reading from your bed. loved it ......

Relaxing and enjoyable

Book was interesting and sweet. A few too many characters for my liking but it was a feel good book. The breathy narrator was okay. The only thing that DROVE ME CRAZY were a couple of references to Provincetown and Wellfleet being SOUTH of Chatham. They are both north and Ptown is northern most town on Cape Cod. One of the main characters is an editor. So, I would think this book would have had a better one. :)

I’m so over breathy little girl sounding narrators

The story was good but the narrator was like listening to nails scraping on a chalkboard! The grown women sounded like 10 year olds, the younger women sounded like cartoon characters and the male voices were just plain creepy!
I should have read this book, I would have enjoyed it more!
PLEASE, no more whispery saccharine sweet voices on grown women..it’s actually weird!

Another Wonderful Book by Pamela Kelley

Pamela Kelley is my favorite author! I’ve read all of her books and I am always eager for her next release! As expected, The Bookshop by the Bay did not disappoint! It was another beautiful story that takes you on a journey and gives you all the good feels that you anticipate from Pam’s books!

A best seller for Pamela M. Kelley

I’ve read/listened to almost all of Pamela’s books. This is by far one of the best. I loved the characters and variation in locals. I hope she continues the series.
