Review & Giveaway: Truffles by the Sea by Julie Carobini

If don't want to miss any great book reviews or giveaways, consider subscribing to my feed byRSS or email. Thanks for visiting!

trufflesbythesea Gaby Flores has lost just about everything. Her employee ran off with most of her flower business, and her apartment burned to the ground. She’s broke, desperate, and determined not to be a gullible person anymore.

She moves into a loft on the California coast that is surprisingly affordable. As she struggles to get her life back together, she’s faced with challenging neighbors, two potential boyfriends, and the constant nagging of her best friend Bri.

Throughout Truffles by the Sea my heart sank as Gaby continued to rely on herself to meet her challenges. She was a likeable character, and I just wanted to reach through the pages of the book and help her out.

The story took several twists and turns, and I never knew exactly which characters I could trust. But through the whole saga, I was rooting for Gaby to find the peace that she was looking for.

This was a sweet story. It wasn’t too intense, and despite Gaby’s struggles, the story is very lighthearted. Perfect to throw in your beach bag over the summer.

I give this book four out of five truffles!
