Thank you for making the past week super fun! This is the first time one of my books has had painted edges, and it’s been an absolute blast to see all of the pictures you’ve been sending in of Beach Vibes out in the wild at your local bookstore, Target or Walmart—or better yet, in your home. I’ll share some of them in my next newsletter. Keep reading for a special giveaway for readers who send in a picture.

But first. . . the painted edges are really just a bonus—the most important draw is a story you’ll treasure. If you loved The Vineyard at Painted Moon or The Boardwalk Bookshop, then Beach Vibes is the book for you. It’s juicy and heartachingly beautiful, told with my trademark humor and light touch.

What would you do if you caught your brother cheating on your best friend? 

While Beth is proud of her Malibu beach shop, Surf Sandwiches, she's even prouder of her charismatic brother Rick, who rose from foster care through surgical residency. She makes subs, he saves lives. Life takes a turn for the happy after she finds out Rick is dating her new best friend, Jana. Then Jana’s handsome brother adds even more sparkle to Beth’s days. . . and nights.

But when she catches Rick with another woman—like, with-with—her visions of an idyllic family future disappear in one awful instant. Either she betrays her brother, or she keeps his secret and risks losing the man she loves and her best friend.

Love and loyalty collide with secrets and betrayal in this witty and emotional tale about the lengths we’ll go to for family, from Susan Mallery, bestselling author of The Boardwalk Bookshop.
