Coming Home to Seashell Harbor by Miranda Liasson

4.0

Note: I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All of the opinions are my own and this did not affect my review in any way.

I started reading this book without knowing what it was about, I just knew that it was right up my alley. This book deals with first loves, second chances and what it means to open up your heart to new opportunities so I knew that I had to read it.

In Coming Home to Seashell Harbor we follow Hadley Wells, who swapped her dreams of saving the planet for the glamour of Hollywood. But when a very public breakup reveals cracks in her not-so-perfect life, she returns to her hometown to reassess what it is she truly wants. Unfortunately, Seashell Harbor has some trouble of its own—including the first man to ever break her heart.

Although this book is quite long for a contemporary I was really blown away by the story and the plot the author managed to create. The characters felt real and throughout the story you get really attached to them, especially the main character. The banter between the two main characters made me smile and made the overall reading experience extraordinary.

The first half of the book was to get to know the town and the character better and that made the story drag a little but in the end all those details were what made me get emotionally invested in the story. My absolute favorite part of the book was the inclusion of animals into the story especially dogs, they made my heart swell.

Overall this is a great second chance romance novel about what it means to open up your heart to new possibilities. Truly recommend this great book.
