Cape Light by Thomas Kinkake and Katherine Spencer
Description
Nestled in New England is the picturesque seaside hamlet of Cape Light, where everyone knows everyone, and folks still care about one another. But Cape Lighters also have their share of hidden dreams, desires, and doubts.
My Thoughts
Goodness, it's been two decades since the first time I read this first novel in one of my favorite series: easily paced contemporary fiction about the trials and joys of everyday folks.
The writing style isn't that sharp or surprising, and it's a little jarring when the point of view in a scene switches between characters with little to no warning. But the people here are believable, and their storylines are natural with substance that isn't too heavy. It's wholesome reading without a lot of schmaltz.
The ending is satisfying but doesn't tie everything up with a tidy, perfect bow. I'm looking forward to revisiting more novels in the series.
