Kristy Woodson Harvey’s Beach House Rules has all the elements of the classic summer beach read:
- Friendship
- Family Drama
- Romance
- Mystery
- Beach Setting
- Small Town Gossip
Charlotte’s life is turned upside down when her husband is arrested for securities fraud. Husband jailed. Locked out of her home. Bank accounts frozen. Surprisingly, an acquaintance named Alice witnesses her meltdown in the bank and invites Charlotte and her 14-year-old daughter, Iris, to move into her home aka the “mommune.”

Two other women and their children live in the “mommune,” too, and the gossips of the small coastal town of Juniper Shores have a field day speculating about what goes on in the beautiful beachfront home.
What is happening? Women helping women, and it is magical.
