Beach House Reunion
Beach House Reunion | Mary Alice Monroe
22 posts | 12 read | 15 to read
Whisking you back to the shores of her bestselling Beach House series, Mary Alice Monroe weaves together a tale of the struggles and triumphs of the historic Rutledge family of Charleston, South Carolina. Beautifully wrought and rich with keen insight, this is an illuminating tale of new beginnings, resilience, and one family's enduring love. Cara Rutledge returns to her Southern home on the idyllic Isle of Palms. Everything is comfortingly the same, yet each detail is rife with painful memories. Only through reconnecting with family, friends, and the rhythms of the lowcountry can Cara release the hold of the past and open herself to the possibility of a new love, career, and hope for the future. Meanwhile, her niece Linnea, a recent college graduate who doesn't know where her life will take her, leaves her historic home in Charleston, with all its entitlement and expectations, and heads to her aunt's beach house. On the island, she is part of the freer, natural ocean lifestyle she loves, rejoining the turtle team, learning to surf, and falling in love. Remembering the lessons of her beloved grandmother, Lovie, the original "turtle lady," Linnea rediscovers a meaningful purpose to her life and finds the courage she needs to break from tradition. In this heartwarming novel, three generations of the Rutledge family gather together to find the strength, love, and commitment to break destructive family patterns and to forge new bonds that will endure long beyond one summer reunion.

A predictable beach read that has the usual family drama, romance and beach descriptions embedded throughout. Set in the low country of South Carolina, this one also shows the author‘s love for loggerhead turtles and conservation. Pleasant read and enjoyable storyline. Thanks to #GalleryBooks and #simonandSchuster for an advanced readers copy in exchange for an honest review. 4⭐️. #recommend #GalleryBooks #SimonandSchuster

jillrhudy This one will be a hot hold at the library. 6y

1. Blue raspberry

2. I love both, but swimming for sure.

3. Not too bad. Sunny, cooler than the 100° heat index yesterday, typical summer day in Ohio.

4. Different fruit-flavored iced teas or lemonades.

5. I grew up always having a pool, so getting to swim for the entire day with my siblings and friends, then passing out on the living room floor after feeding our faces was how I spent most of my summer days 😊

Ke633 I love that memory!! We always stuffed our faces after swimming and took the longest naps! Thanks for sharing! 6y

BEACH HOUSE REUNION was a very pleasant, heartwarming read that made you want to for the most part be in the Rutledge family and in Primrose Cottage as well as Sullivan's Island.

Everything about the book was comfy and inviting.

The characters and the beachy setting were quite pleasant.

It reminded me of a Hallmark movie. The characters felt familiar and I could imagine curling up on the couch to chat with them with them, or taking a stroll on the beach with them. I felt sadness and loss with them, as well as excitement and contentment. The writing was easy and I especially loved reading about the turtles - the blurbs at the beginning of each chapter were perfect additions!

Ready to start this book.

I am ready for summer. It has been snowing all day...no accumulation, but snowing.

This is my first book by this author.

Look at those gorgeous hydrangeas.

KathyWheeler Those characters are featured in 4 earlier books: https://www.goodreads.com/series/131733-beach-house. I read them out of order though and didn‘t have any issues. 7y
Pamwurtzler That looks like the perfect beach book. @KathyWheeler I‘ll have to check out the others too. 7y
SilversReviews @KathyWheeler Thank you for the information. So glad it won‘t be an issue. Good to know. 7y
