Review of Beach House Summer

This is a perfect book for summer! The setting is wonderful and the characters are compelling. Joanna leaves her hometown abruptly and mysteriously after her high school graduation. Now after all these years she is back. Her ex husband, a famous chef, has died in a car accident and she wants to hide from the press. She brings along a teenage girl that was also in the accident. What is the mystery behind her? Joanna slowly reconnects with her old life and friends and the secrets from her previous time in her hometown emerge. This is a feel good story that I really enjoyed.
