The Sandy Page Bookshop

A Novel

De: Hannah McKinnon

Narrado por: Mia Hutchinson-Shaw

Sometimes second chances happen in the places we’ve left behind in this heartwarming beach read from the acclaimed author of the “absolute treasure of a novel” (Kristy Woodson Harvey, New York Times bestselling author) The Darlings.

After her publishing career and engagement fell apart in Boston, Leah Powell has no choice but to return to her hometown. Feeling lost and discouraged, she stumbles upon a once prominent sea captain’s historic home that now looks as dilapidated as she feels. Suddenly inspired, Leah decides to transform it into a bookstore and café she will call The Sandy Page.

Luke Nickerson, a life-long local and contractor, remembers Leah, even if she doesn’t remember him. Intrigued by her return and her project, he agrees to help her bring the old captain’s house back to life. As they work together, The Sandy Page slowly becomes the town’s go-to gathering spot for locals, tourists, and anyone who is feeling adrift during this long, sweet summer. It’s a home for second chances. But will it be enough for Leah and Luke?

The perfect summer listen

A wonderful story of three women, from their own perspectives, on how they face challenges and find happiness. It may take until the last 20 minutes to figure it all out, but you do get answers.

charming fun. read

this is an easy book to get caught up inn with the varied characters and main one Lea. Narration great, each character well developed and following the actual restoration and completion of the actual property. would recommend

Easy light listen

A nice escape but the narrator’s voice had an annoying cadence where she would end her sentence in a dropped, hushed volume, making it hard to catch the last word or so.

Perfect Cozy Read

For the cozy palate cleansing read that I was craving, I am giving this 5 stars. It’s just what I needed. The only problem I had with the narrator is she would sometimes say the last word of some sentences so quiet, you couldn’t hear it.

Well written, interesting characters

Good ending. A feel good book! One could guess things would work out and still it was satisfying .
