Beach House Rules
Kristy's New Book is out Today
Dear Friends & Fiction Community:
Summer’s biggest secret is out: Beach House Rules hits a bookshelf near you TODAY! Think sun-soaked secrets, tangled family drama, and rules that were meant to be broken. I am so grateful for all your support of this book and all my books. And I can’t wait for you to read this one!
Want to know more? Our friend Lisa Scottoline said it best: “I love, love, loved Kristy Woodson Harvey’s Beach House Rules! It’s the heartfelt and dramatic story of Charlotte and Iris Sitterly, a mother and daughter who find themselves struggling at a crossroads in their lives. They join a group of single mothers, forming a remarkable ‘mommune,’ and through the power of friendship and love, they persevere and even triumph as a family, solving a mystery along the way. Take this book to the beach and you won’t stop turning the pages!”
Friends & Fiction favorite Shelby van Pelt declared that “Beach House Rules will rule the beach-read season!” and Cosmopolitan still has me swooning over their “queen of the beach read” proclamation. They shared a sneak peek you can check out!
If you’re looking for signed first editions, they are available from Nantucket Book Partners, South Main Book Company, and, of course, in our Friends & Fiction Subscription with Oxford Exchange. The book is also available from our Friends & Fiction shop on Bookshop.org, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, and everywhere books are sold.
Also, I am on a big, huge tour, and seeing Friends & Fiction members at events always gives me something to look forward to! My full tour dates are available on my website, kristywoodsonharvey.com.
Just remember: Life doesn’t always go as planned, but sometimes the detour is where the magic happens… Step into Beach House Rules—a heartwarming tale of mothers, daughters, and the sisterhood that lifts us when the tide feels too strong. Happy beach reading and thank you again for your tireless support!
Much love,
Kristy Woodson Harvey

About the Book
“Southern bestselling sensation” (Katie Couric Media) Kristy Woodson Harvey returns with a delightfully moving new novel about a mother-daughter duo learning to lean on their community of women—and each other—after their world is turned upside down.
When Charlotte Sitterly’s husband is arrested for a white-collar crime, she and her daughter Iris are locked out of their house by the FBI and—what’s potentially even worse—thrust into the spotlight of @JuniperShoresSocialite, the town’s snarky anonymous Instagram account. Cut off from her bank accounts and feeling desperate, Charlotte takes up an acquaintance’s offer to stay at a beachfront former bed-and-breakfast that’s home to a community of single mothers and draws plenty of gossip in the small coastal North Carolina town.
Charlotte and Iris find solace and are surprised by how much fun they’re having with the other families despite their circumstances. But when the women discover a secret link between them, it changes everything they thought they knew about the unconventional family they’ve created and leaves them wondering whether their coming together was a coincidence at all. Will the skeletons in the mommune closets help Charlotte and Iris reclaim their place in the Juniper Shores community—or shatter the sisterhood forever?
“Perfect for fans of Elin Hilderbrand and Jennifer Weiner” (Country Living), Beach House Rulesis a charming exploration of the joy of friendship, the true meaning of family, and reclaiming the power to reshape our own destiny.
