Summer State of Summer

Happy Pub Week to RaeAnne Thayne

I am SO thrilled about my friend RaeAnne Thayne’s fabulous new book is out. I got an early read and just loved it. And she’s here today to share a little with us about it!

Hi friends:

I’m so grateful to Kristy for letting me borrow a little space in your inbox today to talk about my new release The Rainy Day Bookshop. Like her gorgeous latest book Summer State of Mind, The Rainy Day Bookshop is about motherhood and second chances, along with secrets that have a way of coming out.

Rosie Lucas is juggling too much—her injured mother, her struggling family bookstore, her grown daughter and beloved granddaughter—and romance is the last thing she needs. Especially with Andrew Morgan, the brooding author new to their Oregon beach town. But as Rosie and her daughter Emma each face the ghosts of the past—including the secrets surrounding Rosie’s late husband—they discover that sometimes love, forgiveness, and second chances come when you least expect them.

I was thrilled when Kristy read an early version of the book and give it this lovely cover quote:

“RaeAnne Thayne masterfully blends long-buried secrets, fresh starts, and the complications of being a part of the sandwich generation. RAINY DAY BOOKSHOP is a love letter to motherhood, mending fences, and, of course, the bookstores that save us when it all feels like too much. Readers will root for these complicated heroines as they heal their wounds and, just maybe, get a second chance at romance. If you’re looking for an all-the-feels read, this is the one!”

Isn’t that lovely?

This book means so very much to me. It’s a tribute to independent bookstores, the sandwich generation, and all the mothers trying to do their best with imperfect circumstances. I hope it resonates with readers who understand the beautiful complexity of family relationships — the way love can be messy and hard to navigate, but ultimately healing. Thank you so much for letting me share Rosie and Emma’s story with you today!

All my very best,

RaeAnne
