Get swept away to the beautiful and breezy Isle of Palms with New York Times bestselling author Mary Alice Monroe’s return to her “exceptional and heartwarming” (Publishers Weekly) Beach House series, set in South Carolina’s lowcountry. Two women. One summer. One very special beach house. Cara Rutledge rents her quaint cottage on Isle of Palms to Heather Fordham for the entire summer. As beautiful as the Isle of Palms is, Heather’s anxiety keeps her indoors with her caged canaries as she paints birds for postage stamps. Eventually, however, the shore birds—and a man who rescues them—lure her outside. As the summer progresses and Heather begins to blossom, Cara’s life reels with sudden tragedy. She wants only to return home but Heather refuses to budge from her sanctuary. As everything around the ladies is coming apart, they discover they can only rely on each other. Now, the two women who don’t really know each other are forced to live together and support each other as they navigate the next chapter of their lives. Featuring Monroe’s signature “lyrical, emotional, and gripping” (RT Book Reviews), Beach House for Rent demonstrates the power and strength of female friendships.

"I thought this was a good summer read. I like that all of her books have an educational component about the turtles,Canadiens and the various water birds that are presented in this book. Mary Alice does an excellent job describing the various characters so you feel like you could walk up to them on the street."

"I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This was an easy, light read but not my favorite. The evolution of the characters seemed too quick and unrealistic- everyone's story worked out perfectly by the end of the book. It was a slower read and not my favorite."
