4.5🌟 So charming!! I was worried that the beautiful pink house dust jacket might be the best part of the book—but, thankfully, it wasn't!
The story of Jocelyn Westmore and her mother, Kitten, moving into a little pink summer house on the ocean was absolutely lovely! Because I became a tad frustrated over young Jocelyn's naive generalizations of men and Kitten's (sometimes) unreasonable expectations of her deceased husband, I bumped this vintage romance from a 5 to a 4.5 star read.
BUT, if you don't mind those issues, then I highly recommend you give this book a read right away! Here's what I loved best:
💖 Beautiful dust jacket (I want to live in this house!)
💖 Well-written, perfect pacing and very enjoyable vintage romance
💖 100 pages of the coziest house set up (LOVED!!)
💖 Quick, but detailed descriptions of the beach, nature outside the house, other houses and cooking/food
💖 Unforgettable characters (I adored Van, Timmy, Tildy and Patty...the minor characters)
This is definitely a re-read for me and a book I want to keep in my collection forever. Even though it's not a full 5 star gem, the first 1/3 of the book is 10 stars (or at least to me it is)!
