Synopsis
When Charlotte Sitterly’s husband is arrested for a white-collar crime, she and her daughter Iris are locked out of their home by the FBI and thrust into the public eye via @JuniperShoresSocialite, the town’s gossip-filled Instagram account. Cut off from her bank accounts and desperate, Charlotte accepts an offer to stay in a beachfront haven for single mothers. There, Charlotte and Iris find solace and joy among the other families, but a surprising link between the women emerges, challenging everything they thought they knew. As secrets come to light, Charlotte must decide whether their newfound community will bring redemption or unravel under the weight of their discoveries.
Thoughts:
I absolutely loved this book! From the very first chapter, I was completely captivated by the story and the vivid descriptions of Juniper Shores. I could almost feel the ocean breeze and hear the sound of waves as Charlotte and Iris stepped into the world of the beachfront mommune. I found myself wishing I could be right there with the characters, joining their unconventional community and experiencing the ups and downs alongside them. The author’s ability to bring the small coastal North Carolina town to life was breathtaking. I loved how the book portrayed the mommune community—it was heartwarming to see how these women supported each other while navigating their own skeletons in the closet.
