Book Reviews of The Beach House: A Novel
Book Review: Mind-Numbing Read
Summary: 1 Stars
This entire book is a cliche. You won't be surprised or intrigued by a single outcome. It's written from various points of view, and yet every character's voice is exactly the same. At 200 pages in, you still won't be hooked. This is the kind of mindless read I recommend when you want a break from more complex and interesting novels. This is the kind of book you could take to the beach and accidentally leave there and never once wonder what happened to the characters.
Summary of The Beach House: A Novel
The New York Times bestseller and ultimate beach read from the author of Second ChanceNan Powell is a free-spirited, sixty-five-year-old widow who's not above skinny-dipping in her neighbors' pools when they're away and who dearly loves her Nantucket home. But when she discovers that the money she thought would last forever is dwindling, she realizes she must make drastic changes to save her beloved house. So Nan takes out an ad: Rooms to rent for the summer in a beautiful old Nantucket home with water views and direct access to the beach.
Slowly people start moving in to the house, filling it with noise, laughter, and with tears. As the house comes alive again, Nan finds her family and friends expanding. Her son comes home for the summer, and then an unexpected visitor turns all their lives upside down. As she did so masterfully in her New York Times bestseller Second Chance, Jane Green once again proves herself one of the preeminent writers of contemporary women's fiction.
