Suzanne S. (homerun) - , reviewed on 3/30/2010

Luanne Rice expertly develops her characters to such a high degree that the reader knows, embraces, and hesitates to leave them behind by the completion of the novel. While the characters in Beach Girls work through disappointments and grief and struggle with self-worth and relationship issues, the plot gradually builds toward a crescendo of acceptance, reconciliation, and joy. As usual, Luanne Rice portrays a passion for creativity and the coastal Northeast as well as celebrates healthy, devoted love between parents and children as well as friends and spouses.
