I'm still trying to catch my brain up to all the chaos of a new house, so a beachy romance was just what I needed. Stargazey Point is a sweet summer story set just outside of Myrtle Beach and centers around a hurricane-busted town and its carousel.
This story moves as slow as a hot, sticky South Carolina afternoon, but as refreshing as that glass of sweet tea and wicker rocker. There's no rushing into this romance. Abbie has a heartbreaking backgroundâand it adds to the depth of the story.
It's the south, so there's definitely racismâbut it's repeatedly challenged. POC are more than just background dressing, as they usually are in this sort of book, but are active members of the narrative.
I always like it when a book like this surprises me. I tend to write them off as âempty calories,â guilty pleasures that don't carry much substance, but Stargazey Point actually gave me some feels. Make sure you put this on your pool bag list!
