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.

Review:

Heartwarming, evocative, and compelling!

Beach House Rules is a sweet, touching tale that takes you into the life of Charlotte Sitterly, a mother of one daughter who must learn how to survive, take risks, be true to herself, follow her heart, and try not to lose sight of her own wants, needs, and dreams while standing by her husband after he is arrested for a white-collar crime.

The writing is genuine and sincere. The characters are troubled, supportive, and endearing. And the plot is an absorbing tale about life, loss, heartbreak, forgiveness, selflessness, family, courage, loyalty, kindness, happiness, self-love, female friendships and new beginnings.

Overall, Beach House Rules is an uplifting, tender, alluring tale by Harvey that I absolutely adored, and which, as always, after I finish any of her novels, has left me already looking forward to whatever she publishes next.
