blurb: Hannah comes to Seaview Keys, Hoping to persuade her grandmother, Jenny, who's getting old, to see Seaview Inn and move into a retirement home. Hannah is worried that it's getting to be too much for Granny Jenny and she wants her to move into a retirement home. Hannah has also recently lost her mother to breast cancer, and also been diagnosed with breast cancer herself, so she's also coming to Sea View Keys to try and get herself back together and get her life back in order. Hannah's daughter, Kelsey, announces that she's pregnant, and while she loves the baby's father, she's not yet ready to marry him and she's unsure of whether she wants to keep the baby or put it up for adoption. She drops out of college at Stanford University and comes to Seaview Inn to try and figure out what she wants to do with her life. Luke, Hannah's childhood crush , is an orthepedic surgeon. He has just returned from Iraq, where he was an army doctor. He is recovering from an car bomb that shattered his leg. He has also just gone through a painful divorce, after finding out that his wife and best friend cheated on him while he was in Iraq. He, is also in Seaview Key to try and figure everything out, and figure out what he wants and where he wants to be. Later in the story, when Hannah is cleaning out her mother's suit, she finds letter from her father that were addressed to her. They answered some of her questions about why he abandoned her and her mother all those years ago. Hannah and her father, and her half brother are able to meet and try to catch up for lost time. After coming to Seaview Keys, Kelsey realizes she wants to stay there and help Grandma Jenny run Seaview Inn. Her boyfriend, Jeff follows her there, and she eventually realizes she really does love him and wants to spend the rest of her life with him and their baby daughter is born. They get married right before their baby is born. Grandma Jenny gets her wish and Seaview Inn stays open. Hannah and Luke are immediately attracted to each other, and despite her fears that her cancer will come back, Hannah soon realizes that there's no place that she'd rather be than in Seaview Keys with Luke, and even gives up her job (where she's accomplished ALOT) in New York to move to Seaview Keys
personal thoughts/opinions: I really enjoyed this book. I thought Grandma Jenny was a crack up and kept everyone on their toes. Toward the end of the book, I thought Hannah was going to end up pregnant, and did get a little teary eyed when I was reading about her cancer scare. I am so glad that she got to reunite with her father and meet her brother. And I think her and Luke are perfect for each other! I hope there will be a sequel that includes Hannah and Luke's wedding, and maybe a baby for them, and also the birth of Kelsey and Jeff's Baby.
What did you like best about the book? I really like books with the small town setting where everyone knows everyone.
What didn’t you like about the book? I thought Kelsey was being pretty selfish in the beginning but I'm glad she came around in the end and decided to marry Jeff.
why you read it? I had read and really enjoyed Mending Fences so I wanted to try this book too.
Was this book recommended to you or did you find it on your own? both
Would you recommend it to others? yes I definitely would
Do you want to read more books by this author? I'm planning to read the Sweet Magnolia Series next. I also definitely want to read the Charleston Trilogy and Flamingo Diner.
Does it remind you of other books you’ve already read? yes it did sort of remind me of the Lakeshore Chronicles by Susan Wiggs and somewhat of Susannah's Garden by Debbie Macomber
Did you find it hard to stay interested in this book? not at all
Was this book what you expected? yes, maybe even exceeded my expectations.
What book are you planning to read next? Stealing Home by Sherryl Woods- Part of the Sweet Magnolia Series.
