#19: Beach Colors by Shelley Noble

Beach Colors is a feel-good story that belongs in your beach bag and your pool bag.  It is the sort of story that give you faith in people, faith in being able to find love after devastation, and faith that good things happen to good people.

Margaux is the main character in Beach Colors and she's easy to like. She is young, about to be divorced, has lost everything, and returns home to her family's beach house in Connecticut, because it's the only thing she has left in the world.  Her two best friends, Grace and Bri, round out the girlfriend trio and they are easy to like, too.  They stand by her side as she tries to rebuild her life and they are just the sort of friends we all wish we had.  Of course, there's a man in this story, too: Nick, the handsome police officer for the beach town.  Nick is helping to raise his brother's son, Connor, who might just be my favorite character in this story.  Connor has a tiny little social issue that he's trying to work through and Margaux finds a way to reach him (which makes you love her even more). 

There are several twists and turns but the story is believable, warm, funny at times, and just an over-all good read.  I added it to my Nook bookshelf when it was a $2.99 ebook.  Best $3.00 I've spent in a long time.

Happy Reading everyone!
