Book Smart Kate

Book: 🌟🌟🌟🌟 Audiobook: 🌟🌟🌟🌟💫 Spice: 🌶️🌶️

by Meghan Quinn

This is my second book by Quinn and I’m pretty sure, after both being fantastic, I’m going to have to read all of them.

Cooper, Ford and Palmer are the three children of Martin and Peggy Chance – and they couldn’t be any more different. Ford is now CEO of the family outdoor equipment business, Cooper is a book editor still trying to find his career passion while caring for their aging parents, and Palmer (the only daughter) is an Instagram influencer whose bank account and popularity aren’t what they used to be. When the whole family comes back together on their island home outside Seattle to plan Martin and Peggy’s 50th wedding anniversary, each of them is going to have to face some hard truths about themselves and their relationships to move ahead. Oh, and…Cooper has it bad for his ex-wife’s best friend, Ford doesn’t even realize that he is in love with his assistant, and Palmer is going to have to face her high school crush (now the local doctor).

Big messy families in small towns is one of my favorite parts of romance novels. What makes this one unique (and a ton of fun) is that Quinn doesn’t make this into a 3-book series, with each couple the focus of a singular book. In this one book, we get six different POVs as Cooper, Ford, Palmer, and their respective love interests come together to tell their stories in the weeks leading up to the anniversary party. What a very fun ride! The audiobook has three narrators, and they do a great job of navigating a cast of characters who all get almost equal time in the book.
