This is my first Dorothy Cannell book for me. My dream place to retire has always been Maine and this is what attracted me to this book. Much to my surprise I was disappointed with this book. I felt this book went on and on and on!! I only finished this book because it was audio and I was walking while I was listening. If I had to read this as an ebook, paperback, or hardback I would have put it down to read another day which probably would never have come again. If you're looking for Cannell's famous humor, look again. This stand-alone novel describes how divorced Sarah finds a home in a quaint little Maine village, where she falls in love with a small cottage, makes friends, helps an orphaned boy and discovers the love of her life. The characters, guided by Fate, (or you might say, coincidence) have various heart-rending and life-changing experiences. And, sorry, but I don't believe in 9-year-old Oliver at all.
What do You think about Sea Glass Summer (2012)?
I couldn't finish this book. It was too predictable and cloyingly sweet!
