Time for another Hump Day Potpourri! Today I’m very excited about some of the upcoming releases I’m discovering at Waiting on Wednesday.
If you love discovering new books, hop on over and check it out.
My feature today is a book from one of my favorite authors, Wendy Wax. Ocean Beach, coming on June 26, follows the continuing journey of the characters from Ten Beach Road.
Wendy Wax, author of the “warm [and] wry” (St. Petersburg Times) Ten Beach Road, returns with a novel of three women in need of a second chance…or is it a third?
Unlikely friends Madeline, Avery and Nicole have hit some speed bumps in their lives, but when they arrive in Miami’s South Beach neighborhood, they are all hoping for a do-over. Literally. They’ve been hired to bring a once-grand historic house back to its former glory on a new television show called Do-Over. If they can just get this show off the ground, Nikki would get back on her feet financially, Avery could restart her ruined career, and Maddie would have a shot at keeping her family together.
At least, that’s the plan – until the women realize that having their work broadcast is one thing, having their personal lives play out on TV is another thing entirely. Soon they are struggling to hold themselves, and the project, together. With a decades-old mystery—and the hurricane season—looming, the women are forced to figure out just how they’ll weather life’s storms…

I loved Ten Beach Road, so I’m really eager to read this one. I expect to receive a review copy in the next few weeks.
Visit Wendy at her website here.
