The Beach Trap

De: Ali Brady

Narrado por: Brittany Pressley, Imani Jade Powers

Two best friends torn apart by a life-altering secret. One summer to set the record straight.

When 12-year-olds Kat Steiner and Blake O’Neill meet at Camp Chickawah, they have an instant connection. But everything falls apart when they learn they’re not just best friends—they’re also half sisters. Confused and betrayed, the girls break off all contact.

Fifteen years later, when their father dies suddenly, Kat and Blake discover he’s left them a joint inheritance: the family beach house in Destin, Florida. The two sisters are immediately at odds. Blake, who has recently been demoted from regular nanny to dog nanny, wants to sell the house, while social media influencer Kat is desperate to hold on to the place where she lived so many happy memories.

Kat and Blake reluctantly join forces to renovate the dilapidated house, with the understanding that Kat will try to buy Blake out at the end of the summer. The women clash as Blake’s renovation plans conflict with Kat’s creative vision; meanwhile, each sister finds herself drawn into a summer romance. As the weeks pass, the two women realize the most difficult project they face this summer will be coming to grips with their shared past—and learning how to become sisters.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“An enchanting, heartwarming story about the families we’re born into—and the families we choose for ourselves. The Beach Trap is full of beauty, and hope, and reminders that it’s never too late to roll up our sleeves and rise above the mistakes we made. I cheered, I cried, I swooned while reading about Blake and Kat, and their journeys to finding love, to finding themselves, and to becoming the sisters they were always meant to be. Take this book on vacation with you, and let its heart and humor sweep you off your feet!”—Ali Hazelwood, New York Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis

"A unique and fun twist on the enemies-to-lovers trope, The Beach Trap features two half-sisters who hate each other, but are thrown together one fateful summer to save their family's beach house. It's The Parent Trap meets Flip or Flop (with not one, but two hot handy men). In other words—the ultimate vacation read."—Colleen Oakley, USA Today bestselling author of The Invisible Husband of Frick Island

“The Beach Trap is both a celebration of sisterhood and an unflinching examination of how where we come from shapes who we become. Ali Brady isn’t afraid to let Kat and Blake muddle through their mess, be it the mistakes of their family or the literal mess of the beach house they’ve inherited, and gift readers with an uplifting tale that shows how, with a little elbow grease, the baggage of our past doesn’t have to define us. With an HGTV-worthy plot, heaps of family drama, and a side of romance, The Beach Trap hits the nail on the head when it comes to the perfect summer read. Don’t forget to pack this one in your beach bag!”—Sarah Grunder Ruiz, author of Love, Lists, and Fancy Ships

Perfect summer read!

The narrator was on point! The story was heartwarming and fun even with the sadness felt by the characters at times. Light hearted nonetheless.

Love, loss and longing.

This story was enjoyable to listen to and included many threads of entanglement, misunderstanding, grief, and a desire to belong. The story tugs at the heart of any girl whose ever lost a friend. Only to later learn she’s gained a family!

Easy listening

Great “beach read” book. Predictable but cute story. Good for something easy to listen to.

Cute summer book

I loved the double narrators and that the girls had to rely on each other.

A story of love

Love family beach memories

Nostalgic what the beach - Fourth of July - does to a person. Brings Back so many childhood memories whilst a new family fights to form.

LOVED it!

This was such a fun listen! The story was a cute spin on an old story. The narrators were so great! There were a couple unnecessarily explicit sex scenes so that is a little off-putting for me, but it was really a charming & fun book. A great summer story. I really enjoyed this listen!

A heartfelt and breezy read

A perfect pick if you’re in the mood for a feel-good beach read with some real heart.
