Return to Silver Bay

This was a very sweet and inspirational story. I loved Maggie and Josh. They were characters with real heart. Frankly, every character in the story did, from quirky misunderstood Gwen to Kate, Hannah, Paul, everyone.This book tugged at my heart. Reading about the things Maggie went through while growing up considering how her father was towards her, her mother, and her friends, her strength was amazing. Then after the surprise discovery in her mom's belongings as she was cleaning out the house. Her whole world was turned upside down, and Josh was always there for her. I fell in love with all of the characters.

Sweet, clean love story

This is a sweet story about secrets, lies and recovery from loss. Maggie and Josh had been friends back in high school, before she left after a traumatic scene with her dad. They were still attracted to each other but Maggie was unsure of herself. Will they be able to overcome the obstacles and move forward? This is a nice story for any age reader. There are a few grammar mistakes but they don't ruin the book.
