Second Time Around by Beth Kendrick


*****5 Stars
I loved this book. I picked it up early afternoon and had it finished by bedtime. It should have come with a warming, reading this will have you neglecting life for several hours. Her books just flow for me. I wish she would put them out faster. I didn't want to put this one down. It was a story of friendship, where the characters relationships gave the other strength and courage to go for their dreams, love and to live each day to the fullest. It's a great story of how it is never to late too change direction and find happiness. I strongly recommend this as a great book for the beach.

Book Jacket Summary:
Every summer, a group of former English majors holds a mini-reunion. They laugh, reminisce, and commiserate about their soul-sucking jobs. Maybe they shoudl have listened to everyone who warned them to study something "practical."
Then an unexpected windfall arrives - one million dollars, to be exact - with the stipulation that they use it to jump-start their new careers. Almost overnight, a professor, a bartender, a copywriter, and an administrative assistant reinvent themselves as a novelist, an event planner, a pastry chef, and a bed-and-breakfast owner. But the changes in their professional roles create unexpected turbulence in their personal lives, and soon secrets from their past start to resurface.
