Book cover of The Sweetheart List

Book description

New York Times bestselling author Jill Shalvis returns to Sunrise Cove with a beguiling, lighthearted story about fresh starts, second chances and true love.

When Harper Shaw's life falls apart, she knows it's time for a change. She removes everything that doesn't spark joy-from her soul-sucking job to eating kale…

Why read it?

1 author picked The Sweetheart List as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I love the strong found-family vibe in this one (like many of the books Jill Shalvis writes).

Harper arrives in the small town where she last felt happy. She has no idea what’s in store for her. She’s strong, independent, and most definitely not looking for a relationship. Oops.

Shalvis combines humor, love, found family, and a roller coaster of emotions in this wonderful found-family romance. A fabulous read!

From Jemi's list on small-town, found-family romances.
