AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES AND USA TODAY BESTSELLER!
"A book begging to be read on the beach, with the sun warming the sand and salt in the air: pure escapism."—Kirkus
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Susan Mallery comes a book-about-books story of friends who become family, giving each other courage to start over.
When fate brings three strangers to a charming space for lease on the California coast, the Boardwalk Bookshop is born. Part bookstore, part gift shop, part bakery, it's a dream come true for Bree, Mikki and Ashley. But while their business is thriving, their personal lives are…not.
Bree, wounded by brilliant but cold parents and her late husband's ultimate betrayal, has sworn to protect her heart at all costs. Even from Ashley's brother, a writer and adventurer who has inspired millions. He's the first man to see past Bree's barricades to her true self, which terrifies her. Mikki has this divorce thing all figured out—somehow, she's stayed friends with her ex and her in-laws…until a new man changes how everyone looks at her, and how she sees herself. Meanwhile, Ashley discovers that the love of her life never intends to marry. Can she live without being a wife if it means she can have everything else she's ever wanted?
At sunset every Friday on the beach in front of the Boardwalk Bookshop, the three friends share a champagne toast. As their bond grows closer, they challenge one another to become the best versions of themselves in this heartachingly beautiful story of friendship, sisterhood and the transformative power of love.
Don’t miss Susan Mallery’s brand new novel, BEACH VIBES, a dazzling, clever and poignant story about the family we’re born into—and the one we create for ourselves, coming March 2025!

Customer Reviews
Good book
3 women agree to buy a building & share the space for each to open a shop. One has a bookstore, one a gift shop, & the other opens a bakery. Surprisingly, they become friends & lean on each other through various relationship issues. Yes, it’s a romance, but the romance is somewhat secondary to the way the women bond in friendship. There are some sex scenes in the book, but only a few & for the most part, they are not too “vivid” & it’s not pages & pages of it to skip through.
I’ve read a number of Susan Mallory books & always enjoy them, sometimes even going back for a reread!
Good read
Good story about friendship and love. Growing together.
Such a great read
This is my second book of Susan Mallory’s that I have read. Really enjoyed this book! As a mom I have to find time to read and with this book I made time to read instead of doing other things around the house. Another book by Susan that I could not put down! Highly recommend!!
