The Beach Trap

By Ali Brady

Book Overview

Two best friends torn apart by a life-altering secret. One summer to set the record straight.

When twelve-year-olds Kat Steiner and Blake O'Neill meet at Camp Chickawah, they have an instant connection. But everything falls apart when they learn they're not just best friends--they're also half sisters. Confused and betrayed, the girls break off all contact.

Fifteen years later, when their father dies suddenly, Kat and Blake discover he's left them a joint inheritance: the family beach house in Destin, Florida. The two sisters are immediately at odds. Blake, who has recently been demoted from regular nanny to dog nanny, wants to sell the house, while social media influencer Kat is desperate to hold on to the place where she lived so many happy memories.

Kat and Blake reluctantly join forces to renovate the dilapidated house, with the understanding that Kat will try to buy Blake out at the end of the summer. The women clash as Blake's renovation plans conflict with Kat's creative vision; meanwhile, each sister finds herself drawn into a summer romance. As the weeks pass, the two women realize the most difficult project they face this summer will be coming to grips with their shared past--and learning how to become sisters.

Customer Reviews

Women's Fiction

This is a Women's Fiction/Chick-Lit/Romance. This book is about two half sisters that never really know each other getting to know each other as an adult. Both of the sisters think the other one had a better life. I love the storyline, and I loved getting to know both of the main characters. I love the very slow moving romance. This book was a very fun read and it was a book I did not want to put down. I loved it so much. I received an ARC of this book. This review is my own honest opinion about the book like all my reviews are.
