I am embarrassed by how far behind I am with writing my reviews that I didn't realize that this book is part of a series. With being said, this story can stand alone and reading the first book does give you a preview into the characters in this book.
In book one, Chris Jansen, is transplanted to San Verde, CA from NY to improve the ratings at the radio station which his overbearing father, Nathaniel Jansen, purchased to turn into profit. This story introduces Everly Dean, SUN 96.2 radio show producer, working with her best friend, Stacey Ryan, a radio deejay at the station. They are less than pleased with the changes since the Jansen family purchased the station and work hard to convince Chris how profitable the station could be.
In this book, Grace Travis is working odd jobs to make ends meet while finishing up her courses in design. She had been assisting Morty, a 72 year-old man, in lieu of rent. He has a long time lady friend, Tilly, who often comes to visit and ensure Morty is safe. Aside from working at Coffee Stop, Grace makes money as a dog walker to pay for school to fulfill her dream of becoming an interior designer. Her unreliable mother, Tammy Travis, becomes enraged when she learns that her parents left their home on the beach to Grace and not her. Grace was surprised by this inheritance as well since Tammy never allowed her to get to know her grandparents. This allows Grace to renovate the house using her design talents with the help of best friend, Rosie and co-worker, Hugo. Meanwhile, she is annoyed by Noah Jansen, who is trying to buy the house next door. He runs into some difficulty getting approval the extreme renovations he has planned which pleases Grace who would prefer he build his house elsewhere. The ultimate request comes from Stacey who wants to hire Grace as an interior designer for Noah's house which will be featured in a magazine. What's a girl to do? Learn to love her neighbor, of course!
There are the quirky side stories which provide humor and structure to series. A fun read!
