Evvie Drake Starts Over by Linda Holmes. I added this one mid-summer, because it is so wonderfully beach bookish. A smart romantic story about a young widow who is... well... starting over. Small town Maine, lobsters, romance, a major league baseball pitcher who has inexplicably lost his ability to pitch - what could be better on the beach? It's charming and funny. The dialogue is crackling. The story is poignant. It's just terrific fun. NB - author is the host of NPR's Pop Culture Happy Hour podast.
