Second Time Around
Second Time Around | Beth Kendrick
4 posts | 5 read | 4 to read
Every summer, four college friends hold a mini-reunion. They laugh, reminisce, and commiserate about their soul-sucking jobs. Maybe they should have listened to everyone who warned them to study something practical. Then an unexpected windfall arrives one million dollars, to be exact with the stipulation that they use it to jump-start their new careers. Almost overnight, a professor, a bartender, a copywriter, and an administrative assistant reinvent themselves as a novelist, an event planner, a pastry chef, and a bed-and-breakfast owner. But the changes in their professional roles create unexpected turbulence in their personal lives, and soon the secrets and scandals from their past start to resurface. For anyone who has ever wondered What if?, this engaging novel provides a sweet, funny look at friendship, romance, and second chances."

This was a fairly quick but enjoyable read. Had a couple surprises, but got a bit predictable (with a couple moments that seemed unrealistic but needed to fill plot holes), though that didn‘t take away from a cute premise. Would have been nice if there was a bit more focus on the friendships of the women and their development as opposed to mainly their romantic relationships. Still, it was a nice read! 7/10

Mehso-so

Kinda fun. Super fast read, decent characters, and it was better when it focused on the friendships rather than the romances.

Holy cow there was a borders bookmark in one of my books. Amazon's good and all but tell me someone else misses Borders. I use to eat all my work day lunches in there cafe so I could get Border bucks to feed my ever growing book addiction.

DGRachel I miss Borders so much. I was crushed when they went out of business. 7y

Lreads I miss Borders! It was one of only two bookstores in my area. Borders always carried older books along with new releases, which is really important to me as I read so many book series in order. 7y
Avanders Totally miss Borders! 7y
litmuggle @ReadsWithTea I know I hate having to go online and order books in series. 7y
