Life's a Beach Book Review

Yesterday I finished reading "Life's a Beach" by Claire Cook. I have to say, this book wasn't as good as I thought it would be. It wasn't terrible but it wasn't amazing. It was a light summer read that was perfect for the beach. Even though I didn't love the book, it did entertain me. But I got bored a little throughout the book. The book doesn't really have a plot. The book is about a forty-one year old woman named Ginger who is still single and lives above her parents' garage. She has no idea what she wants to do with her life. She has a boyfriend named Noah who is an artist. Ginger earns money by making jewelry out of sea glass. Her sister, Geri has a family and she is turning fifty. Geri's eight year old son is cast in a movie. Ginger volunteers to go with him and she goes on an adventure. She meets a guy, and her life gets more exciting.

Like I said before, this book was okay, wasn't terrible at all. The characters weren't very likable or relatable to me. The main character was okay. She could be funny at times. To be honest, I actually liked how Ginger still had no idea what to do with her life. It's different. I read books where the main characters are confident and successful, although it was a little sad because she is forty-one. I liked both of the men that Geri had to choose. I think my favorite character is Geri's son, Riley because he has the most personality.  I think this is an adult novel and maybe that's why I couldn't relate to it. The other characters weren't bad. There were some times where I put the book down because I couldn't get into this story. The reason why I am giving this book 3 stars on goodreads is because the dialogue is very good. The pacing of the book was kind of slow but the dialogue made up for it. I thought the dialogue was funny at times. Claire Cook is a good author but I think she needs to think of better ideas for her future books. I may or may not read more from this author. Life's a Beach is worth picking up at your library or borrowing from a friend, but I don't recommend buying it. Luckily I got this book cheap at my used bookstore. 3 Stars!! Thanks for reading!
