Firecrackers weren't meant to sit in a box. They were meant to explode.Brittney doesn't know if she should be embarrassed or grateful. She has a job that pays bills, a family who loves her, and a best friend who is the best. But after a gut-wrenching betrayal and the loss of her dad in a tragic accident, she definitely feels stuck.Nothing is wrong, but nothing feels right either. Only when she finds herself uprooted from her single-wide haven does she start moving again, first into a ridiculous roommate situation, then - bless her heart - toward a brooding musician, who also happens to be her best friend's estranged brother. It's a mess, but Brittney comes from complications made beautiful. Her mama, Jessie, is still navigating her new marriage -- and that of her best friend Maggie, who storms into town like a hurricane, bringing her own romantic chaos with her. Join the Oakley-Jameson family - and those who are practically family to them, who live, love, and learn the hard way in the beautiful oceanside South Carolina town of Surfside Beach.

Paul looked up at me and winked. I felt slightly strengthened by his presence, as long as I didn't think about wanting Randall to be there. It went against my polite instincts to wish for one over the other.In the tradition of Jennifer Weiner, Camille Pagán, and Erin Hilderbrand, debut author Kelly Capriotti Burton brings a story filled with grief and humor that features a strong, searching, and mature woman -- a perfect read for the beach and the book clubs.¿¿¿Writer, beachcomber, and supermom of four grown children, Jessie Oakley is looking forward to a slower pace when Randall, her husband of 35 years, finally retires. Instead, she finds herself completely at a loss for her future after he dies suddenly in a tragic accident.Soon - too soon? - Jessie and her newly widowed co-worker, Paul Jameson, begin to navigate grief together. Maybe no one should be surprised when the two affectionate old friends begin to see each other in a new light, begin to fall in love. Maybe heartbreak really can be sincere and shared all at once. Maybe age fifty-something is not too old for a second-chance at romance. Maybe, somehow, Jessie will find a way to be freed from guilt and doubt and embrace a brand-new chapter in her life.
