출판사 설명
A former actress in need of a reset reunites with her grandmother, her first crush, and the ladies of Ten Beach Road in this escapist novel from USA Today bestselling author Wendy Wax.
After losing her long-time acting gig on the hit show Murder 101, Sydney Ryan decides she needs a break from Hollywood politics. She heads to Treasure Island, Florida where her grandmother has been visiting and now refuses to leave. Sydney’s plan to lie low for a bit quickly goes awry though, as she is swept up in her grandmother’s now flourishing social life—Grand not only bought a new house in Casas de Flores, she’s also helping her neighbor Myra open a bookstore in Pass-a-Grille. But when someone breaks into Grand’s house repeatedly Sydney realizes her grandmother is keeping something from her.
Determined to ferret out the truth and protect her grandmother, Sydney enlists the help of the Ten Beach Road ladies and Luke, a local police officer who was once her high school crush. While Sydney puts her television crime-solving skills to the test, she decides to act on the sizzling chemistry between herself and Luke. And as Sydney spends more sunsets toasting to true friends and new romance, she begins to wonder if the sun is setting on her time in Hollywood and if this town could be the dawn of a new chapter.

Disappointed
Although it was wonderful to revisit the beloved characters from the Ten Beach Road series, the newest installment, Just Beachy, is an average read at best—and a disappointment for longtime fans like myself who have always looked forward to each new book in the series.
Unfortunately, the plot felt underdeveloped and lacked the heart and depth that made the earlier books so compelling. If the author had invested as much thought into the storyline and character arcs as she did into the numerous sexual encounters, this could have been a standout addition rather than a forgettable one.
I’ve always considered Wendy Wax a go-to for engaging, romantic & emotionally rich stories, but after this book, I’m not so sure anymore.
