It deals with real topics like family, grief, love, and finding yourself along with the quirky people and town and the beautiful coastal scenery. Although at first glance this looks like just another women's fiction novel, it is so much more. The pace is natural with an effortless flow that had me gliding easily through the pages.
The plot wasn't anything mind-blowingly original, but the author writes with such feeling that it gives the story a life all its own. The beautiful scenery along with the author's vivid imagery allowed me to fully immerse myself in the novel and into the town itself. The setting is perfect - a small coastal town that was once a popular family vacation destination, but is now struggling to survive. They are all unique and have distinct personalities and give a great depth to the novel. The other characters in the novel - namely the people Abbie meets in Stargazey Point - are also well written. We see her fears, dreams, strengths, and weaknesses - and are able to empathize right alongside her as she grows and changes throughout the novel. This was a fantastically written contemporary novel that features a strong female lead character - Abbie Sinclair - who is incredibly realistic and easy to identify with.
It's a place for love, new beginnings, and finding yourself. As she gets to know the people of the town, Abbie realizes that Stargazey Point is much more than an old destination town. 'Stargazey Point' is a beautifully written contemporary women's fiction novel that follows lead character Abbie Sinclair as she travels to the small town of Stargazey Point in South Carolina. The only little complaint is that there is quite a bit of dialogue in this novel, maybe at times an excessive amount, that can get somewhat repetitive.
This is a comfort read, a place for second chances, with the unscrupulous land developers providing the tension. They are all so wonderful, and the place just seems for the most part so peaceful and beautiful, I would love to visit. The characters and the place are the stars of this novel. Cab, had spent every summer here with his uncle and he wants more than anything to refurbish the old carousal. Stargazey Point has seen better days, once an amusement park and boardwalk, it never recovered from the hurricane that leveled the same. Here she meets three charming, gentile elderly southerns and a wonder Gullah woman who tires to help her.
After a traumatic event in her life Abbey Sinclair escapes to Stargazey Point, to the relatives of her best fried, hoping to reassess her life and recover from her heartache. Another feel good Southern charmer with some bite.
