BEACH HOUSE RULES Hits Shelves Today!
Good morning, dearest friends!
Summer’s biggest secret is OUT: my twelfth novel, Beach House Rules, hits shelves today! Think sun-soaked secrets, tangled family drama, and rules that were meant to be broken.
I about fell out of my chair when Cosmopolitan called me “the queen of the beach read!” And they created a fun preview to share with all of you if you need a sneak peek! (Link here.)
#1 Bestselling Author Lisa Scottoline summed it up better than I ever could: “I love, love, loved Kristy Woodson Harvey’s BEACH HOUSE RULES! It’s the heartfelt and dramatic story of Charlotte and Iris Sitterly, a mother and daughter who find themselves struggling at a crossroads in their lives. They join a group of single mothers, forming a remarkable “mommune,” and through the power of friendship and love, they persevere and even triumph as a family, solving a mystery along the way. Take this book to the beach and you won’t stop turning the pages!”
And Remarkably Bright Creatures author and phenom Shelby Van Pelt declared that: “Beach House Rules will rule the beach-read season!”
I’m so grateful–and would be so honored if you considered grabbing a copy of my Full House-meets-Gossip Girl tale for your beach bag this summer!
If you’re into signed first editions, they are available from Nantucket Books and South Main Book Company. But, of course, the book is also available from Bookshop.org, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, and everywhere books are sold.
Also, I would LOVE to see you on tour! I’ll be in fifteen states, and thirty-three cities, so, if I’m near you, I’d love to meet you or see you again in real life. My full tour dates are available on my website, kristywoodsonharvey.com.
Just remember: As my Beach House Rules ladies learn, life doesn’t always go as planned, but sometimes the detour is where the magic happens… Step into Beach House Rules—a heartwarming tale of mothers, daughters, and the sisterhood that lifts us when the tide feels too strong. Happy beach reading!
Much love,
Kristy Woodson Harvey
A Little More About the Book!
“Southern bestselling sensation” (Katie Couric Media) Kristy Woodson Harvey returns with a delightfully moving new novel about a mother-daughter duo learning to lean on their community of women—and each other—after their world is turned upside down.
When Charlotte Sitterly’s husband is arrested for a white-collar crime, she and her daughter Iris are locked out of their house by the FBI and—what’s potentially even worse—thrust into the spotlight of @JuniperShoresSocialite, the town’s snarky anonymous Instagram account. Cut off from her bank accounts and feeling desperate, Charlotte takes up an acquaintance’s offer to stay at a beachfront former bed-and-breakfast that’s home to a community of single mothers and draws plenty of gossip in the small coastal North Carolina town.
Charlotte and Iris find solace and are surprised by how much fun they’re having with the other families despite their circumstances. But when the women discover a secret link between them, it changes everything they thought they knew about the unconventional family they’ve created and leaves them wondering whether their coming together was a coincidence at all. Will the skeletons in the mommune closets help Charlotte and Iris reclaim their place in the Juniper Shores community—or shatter the sisterhood forever?
“Perfect for fans of Elin Hilderbrand and Jennifer Weiner” (Country Living), Beach House Rules is a charming exploration of the joy of friendship, the true meaning of family, and reclaiming the power to reshape our own destiny.
