Publisher's summary

From New York Times best-selling author Joanne DeMaio comes a love story set at a tucked-away cottage by the sea.

For Mack and Avery Martinelli, the summer is their oyster. They can spend all day on the beach, or not. Cruise the dusty beach roads, or never leave their deck overlooking Long Island Sound. Fill their itinerary with excursions on the Connecticut shore, or while away the hours in a shingled cottage. Every decision this week is theirs to make.

Until it's not. Until life as they know it changes - and suddenly the Martinellis have to face only each other. Face each other in The Beach Cottage and see what they have, or don't have, between them.

story is about covid

If you want to listen to a book to get covid out of your mind, avoid this book. The story is not bad, but not great. There is a second book, but I probably won't buy it. For the price, just remember it is a novella, so just a few hours long.

Disappointed by ending!

The story was over before there was a conclusion. Hoping there is a sequel to tie up loose ends.

So Touching!

This book brought a lot of emotions out due to the pandemic we are all going through. It’s a great reminder to not take people or things for granted. Live everyday to the fullest and no matter what you have, both great and small, never take it for granted. Be thankful for even the small things that seem so insignificant at the time, or one day you’ll wish you had. Thank you for writing this book!

Grow up!

This is nothing against the author. I’m sure she wrote this exactly as someone might behave under these circumstances.

I started this book twice. I never got past the first chapter either time. The bride is a whiny brat. I have no idea why her husband doesn’t stuff her in her suitcase and return her to the parents who allowed her to be so entitled.

Maybe she eventually realized that she was going to have to go with the flow and it may have turned out to be a really good book. I will never know.

A cottage filled with hope!

I am so glad I discovered Joanne Demaio! My intention was to support other indie authors in our attempt to swim with the big fish! Demaio, is a shark! I highly recommend THE BEACH COTTAGE! Judy Prescott Marshall
