Beach House Rules

Summary: “Southern bestselling sensation” (Katie Couric Media) Kristy Woodson Harvey returns with a delightfully moving new novel about a mother-daughter duo learning to lean on their community of women—and each other—after their world is turned upside down.

When Charlotte Sitterly’s husband is arrested for a white-collar crime, she and her daughter Iris are locked out of their house by the FBI and—what’s potentially even worse—thrust into the spotlight of @JuniperShoresSocialite, the town’s snarky anonymous Instagram account. Cut off from her bank accounts and feeling desperate, Charlotte takes up an acquaintance’s offer to stay at a beachfront former bed-and-breakfast that’s home to a community of single mothers and draws plenty of gossip in the small coastal North Carolina town.

Charlotte and Iris find solace and are surprised by how much fun they’re having with the other families despite their circumstances. But when the women discover a secret link between them, it changes everything they thought they knew about the unconventional family they’ve created and leaves them wondering whether their coming together was a coincidence at all. Will the skeletons in the mommune closets help Charlotte and Iris reclaim their place in the Juniper Shores community—or shatter the sisterhood forever?

“Perfect for fans of Elin Hilderbrand and Jennifer Weiner” (Country Living), Beach House Rules is a charming exploration of the joy of friendship, the true meaning of family, and reclaiming the power to reshape our own destiny.

Traveling With T’s Thoughts:

It’s no secret that I adore Kristy Woodson Harvey books and have been a fan of hers since Dear Carolina.

Each spring/summer, I look forward to the latest KWH book so I can read it by pool, ocean, or my front porch and just enjoy the fictional world of words that Kristy makes so vivid.

What I liked:

This cover is EVERYTHING.

I loved the mommune. It was great! Kristy’s descriptions of the ladies and kids was so great.

Juniper Shores Socialite was the cherry on the sundae of this great Southern family drama.

Bottom line: Beach House Rules is the book of the summer. The characters, the cover- it really is a book to remember.
