Beach House Rules by Kristy Woodsen Harvey Pub Date: May 27, 2025 Pages: 368 Audiobook Length: 11 hours, 42 minutes Bethany's Review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐This book is all about found family. Charlotte and her daughter, Iris, move into the mommune after they are kicked out of her home due to an ongoing investigation against her husband Bill. Right away they find a new home, family, and friends. I loved how the women supported each other and helped each other rise up in various ways. Each character was going through something on their own and needed the other three women to work through the problems. The character development was spot on. I enjoyed reading this book, but at some points the story dragged a bit. The Juniper Shores Socialite chapters were fun and reminded me of Gossip Girl. This will be the perfect summer read. Sara's Review: ⭐⭐⭐💫I liked the idea of this book - the women down on their luck who move into a home together with their kids. They work together to support one another - I loved the strong and supportive women. The families we create vs the families by blood. I thought that the characters were all enjoyable and dynamic and there was a ton of growth between them. I just found that the book moved slowly. I wanted a little more "drama" in the story - not necessarily between the women, but more in their lives and their stories. The stories were all difficult in their own way, but I did not feel like they were the focus of the book, so it seemed like details were not always there. It would have supported the relationship between the women more if there was more feeling in the other parts of the book. Overall a cute read that would be perfect for a summer beach day!
