Can’t Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Wishful Endings, to spotlight and discuss the books we’re excited about that we have yet to read. Generally, they’re books that have yet to be released. It’s based on Waiting on Wednesday, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine.
Publication Date: May 31, 2022

Genre: Fiction, Women’s Fiction, Contemporary Fiction
Synopsis:
From number one New York Times best-selling author Susan Mallery – a story of friends who become family, giving each other courage to start over….
When fate brings three strangers to a charming space for lease on the California coast, the Boardwalk Bookshop is born. Part bookstore, part gift shop, part bakery, it’s a dream come true for Bree, Mikki, and Ashley. But while their business is thriving, their personal lives are…not.
Bree, wounded by brilliant but cold parents and her late husband’s ultimate betrayal, has sworn to protect her heart at all costs. Even from Ashley’s brother, a writer and adventurer who has inspired millions. He’s the first man to see past Bree’s barricades to her true self, which terrifies her. Mikki has this divorce thing all figured out – somehow, she’s stayed friends with her ex and her in-laws…until a new man changes how everyone looks at her, and how she sees herself. Meanwhile, Ashley discovers that the love of her life never intends to marry. Can she live without being a wife if it means she can have everything else she’s ever wanted?
At sunset every Friday on the beach in front of the Boardwalk Bookshop, the three friends share a champagne toast. As their bond grows closer, they challenge one another to become the best versions of themselves in this heartachingly beautiful story of friendship, sisterhood, and the transformative power of love.
Why I Can’t Wait!

This does sound pretty wonderful, Wendy. I’ve not read Susan Mallery before but I might have to check out this one. 🙂
Thank you, she’s been writing for a very long time and writes really good women’s fiction/romance.
I love the sound of this…what could be nicer than a boardwalk bookshop.
It’s been a while since I’ve read a Mallery book. I used to adore her Fool’s Gold series. I hope you end up loving this one when you get to read it.
I’m impressed by how often you participate in Can’t Wait Wednesday. Your TBR must be huge. 🙂
Great choice Wendy. The cover and blurb call to me. I have this one on my TBR.
This one looks really good! I want to be where the woman on the cover is at, haha.
I’m first in line for the audiobook of this one Wendy and I can’t wait to start it! I’m sure we’re both going to enjoy it Wendy!
Love the cover. I sure wouldn’t mind being on the beach with a book!
That cover’s nice and inviting, isn’t it? I’d love to be at the beach today.
Two of my favorite things: the beach and books! I hope you enjoy it, Wendy!
