A good summer read with a focus on teenage years
Surfside Sisters: A Novel
By: Nancy Thayer
Rating: 4 of 5
This is a story about two childhood friends. Keeley and Isabelle. Keeley was middle class and Isabelle was from a rich family. The two things they had in common was that they lived in the same Nantucket town and they both wanted to be famous writers when they grew up.
Their common interest kept them together until a romantic interest tore them apart. At that point, the lives moved apart rapidly and for what seemed like forever.
Keely managed to make her dream come true and is a famous author. When events in her life turn her in circles, she retreats back to Nantucket to help her mother.

A funny new mystery series including some great recipes
Game of Scones (A Sugar & Spice Mystery Book 1)
By: Mary Lee Ashford
Rating: 5 of 5
I started to read the second book in this series (in a pre-release format) and got only a couple of pages in and decided, because it was so good and so funny, I had to read the series in order.
This is the first in the Sugar & Spice Mystery series. Sugar (aka Rosetta Sugarbaker Calloway) and Dixie Spicer (aka Spice) have opened a new business in publishing local focus cookbooks.
Sugar has the business smarts and worked for a larger publishing firm until the business ran into problems and had to cut many employees, including Sugar. Dixie is a first class book and has won many blue ribbons. She is also a widow of one year.
