Escape to Jekyll Island is a perfect little real life snippet that is wildly relatable to anyone that has been through a major upheaval in their life. It's also incredibly CUTE. Sandy wrote the perfect second chance romance with a second chance career for a solid lovable down-to-earth FMC. No spoilers but I can't wait to see more of the male love interest! My only "complaint" is that Tally's ex didn't get more of the karma he deserved...
This is an adorable small-town romance with some fun and quirky characters (oh, Aunt Etah...) while also being a relaxing beach read with just enough of extra stuff going on. Also great for anyone recovering from working in the wedding industry that needs to remember why they quit! Hehehe, ok so I do miss some parts of it but *not* the monster-in-laws or inevitable day-of problems. Or the hours for that matter; people don't believe me when I say as the caterers we would be up at 5am and would often not finish until 2am the next day..... I do kind of miss pizza fries and coffee at 3am with my parents though, it was still fun if exhausting.
