I am enjoying this series. It has interesting characters, amazing friendships and a great small town vibe.

Amazon synopsis:
As Eleanor continues to settle into life in Magnolia Shore and works to turn the lower level of her house into a bookstore, the women of her book club face turning points of their own.

For Cadence Meadows, everything has changed since she and her husband, Tyler, decided to separate for a while. Both are determined to make sure their daughter Isabelle feels safe and loved despite the upheaval. But in the quiet moments, Cadence finds herself grappling with the ache in her heart as she tries to decide what she truly wants for her future.

Tyler has always been the love of her life. But after Isabelle was born, a painful struggle to conceive again slowly created distance between them, and that rift has only deepened with time. Can they confront the hurt of the past and find their way back to one another, or is it time to let go?

Meanwhile, Eleanor runs into an unexpected roadblock with her plans to open the bookshop when permit issues arise and she clashes with Winnie Burnett, who is skeptical of the whole project.

And when June learns about an open mic night hosted by Anchor Bistro, she’s both thrilled and terrified at the thought of singing in front of a crowd. With encouragement from Eleanor and the others, will she find the courage to step into the spotlight?

The second book in the Magnolia Shore series spotlights the difficulties in being a single mother and the importance of friends and loved ones. Tyler and Cadence have separated, but still prioritize their energetic daughter, Izzy. Eleanor faces problems with opening her book store out of her home. Young widow June works hard to provide a nice life for her son Benjamin, but has opted out of an easier life for herself. Whenever I read a book by Fiona Baker, I feel like I'm a part of the community, and this book is no exception. I love this series.

Great story, fun reading

Enjoying the continued story of Elenor’s journey, a new and different life, an awesome happiness with a few turns that prove aggravating as her dream gets closer to becoming reality.
Only a couple of down sides that bother me, a lack of editing that drives me crazy with missing words and /misplaced words. Also, the characters Elenor and Garret seem so much older than 40ish, I feel like they are 60ish and I cannot get past that fact in how they interact with each other.

Once again, the story was OK, but there were even more typos and other errors in this one than in the we first one. It's unbelievable that neither the author nor editors would pick these up. There are even examples of misused (or perhaps made up) words. It all really detracts from the book.

Sail Away Home

A truly beautiful woman fiction. Full of friendships, new relationships and rekindling one, new businesses getting read to launch new possibilities. This is a great series that's clean, engaging with relatable issues. Enjoy

The second story in a series about a little seaside town in Massachusetts. In this story, the focus is on Cadence and her life. There are 5 friends who are interwoven into the town of Magnolia Shores. Their lives are all different but their friendship is strong. A nice read!

Not the best

A little too cutesy. Repetitive and overdone dialogue. Characters and circumstances are predictable. Book one was good though. Gonna pass on next in series. Bakers books have always been a favorite - always good reading. I recommend them.

But not much depth. Average book for average reading
