Synopsis

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Bookstore on the Beach

There are secrets that bring friends together, and others that drive them apart…

Mariners Island is barely ten miles long, but when Ivy, Ariana and Cam were teenagers, it was their whole world. Beyond the pristine beaches and iconic lighthouse lies the beautiful old library that belongs to Ivy’s family. While that bound Ivy to the island as an adult, Ariana could not leave Mariners behind fast enough. The town holds too many…memories. Not only her unrequited feelings for Cam, but the tragedy that left a scar on the community.

When a young girl went missing, a teenage Cam was unthinkably the prime suspect. Ariana and Ivy knew he couldn’t have hurt anyone, and they promised to protect him—even if it meant lying on his behalf.

Now, twenty years later, Ariana returns to Mariners just as new evidence emerges on the case, calling into question everything the three friends thought they knew—and everyone they thought they could trust. What really happened that night? Over the course of one eventful summer, Ariana, Ivy and Cam will learn the truth—about their pasts, their futures and the ties that still bind them as closely as the pages of a book…

Goodreads review by Owl._. on January 01, 2023

Eh ... not what I was expecting when I requested this book. I really didn't care for the characters. I didn't care for the story. I get it - they made a mistake as teenagers. I didn't need it drilled into my head every chapter - every conversation. I found myself skimming large sections just to move......more

Check out all my reviews at: [URL not allowed] THE SEASIDE LIBRARY by Brenda Novak is a women’s fiction/mystery/suspense mash-up with romantic elements. From my initial impression of the title and cover I was expecting more of a romance, but that is not the focus of this story. Three......more

Goodreads review by Dale on April 24, 2024

Two stars. Firstly don’t be fooled by the cover and go into this book expecting a beach read and cosy tale about a library and books. No idea why it is called this as the library isn’t exactly a major feature of the book. It is about three friends Cam, Ivy and Ariana come back together. They all carr......more

Goodreads review by Becky on April 13, 2023

No idea why this is called The Seaside Library--the library is barely in it at all. And the cover? Totally misleading--even though this takes place in a seaside town during tourist season, it's not remotely a fluffy beach read. Maybe if you go into it knowing that you'll have a better overall experi......more
