The Sheffield sisters are from a small seaside town called Palmetto Beach. During the summers, tourists would flock to the town. Riley is the oldest and every summer hangs with Mack Logan, a summer resident. She is in love with him and the summer she thinks something might happen, his attention shifts to Maisy, the middle sister. In a fit of jealousy, Riley gets Maisy in trouble and Mack Logan leaves and doesn't return the following summer. That causes a ripple effect on the all three Sheffield sisters. Thirteen years have passed and now the sisters are back together and must work together to save the bookstore. Also back is Mack Logan. This story revolves around the sisters and their mama and finding their way back to each other. This was a book I just couldn't put down because I couldn't wait to find out what happened next. The characters were so beautifully created; they were very vivid and real to me. I found myself instantly drawn into the story, mostly for Riley. I enjoyed Maisey too, but I found her to still be very young and immature throughout most of the story. This was a wonderful book about connections, family, realtionships and letting go of the present so you can live in the future. However, the story also managed to emphasize that you shouldn't loose sight of your hopes and dreams and the core of yourself when life gets in the way. Overall, a very sweet and moving story. I definitely plan to read more books by this author.
