Dukess, Karen

This charming and heartfelt cozy from Dukess (The Last Book Party) is just the thing for a rainy afternoon and a cup of tea. The dialogue is snappy, the characters are endearing, and the plot is satisfyingly quirky.

Part coming of age, part gossipy peek into the enclave of writers, editors, poets, and artists who annually escaped the heat of Boston and New York to talk, drink, and work on Cape Cod, this seminostalgic debut is the ideal summer read for book people. [See Prepub Alert, 1/23/19.]
