NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A seaside town helps one young woman reclaim the light after darkness in an uplifting novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Debbie Macomber. “Romantic, warm, and a breeze to read—one of Macomber’s best.”— Kirkus Reviews Annie Marlow has been through the worst. Rocked by tragedy, she heads to the one place that makes her happy: Oceanside in the Pacific Northwest, the destination of many family vacations when Annie was a teenager. Once there, Annie begins to restore her broken spirit, thanks in part to the folks she meets: a local painter, Keaton, whose large frame is equal to his big heart—and who helps Annie fix up her rental cottage by the sea; Mellie, the reclusive, prickly landlord Annie is determined to befriend; and Britt, a teenager with a terrible secret. But it is Keaton to whom Annie feels most drawn. His quiet, peaceful nature offers her both comfort and reprieve from her grief, and the two begin to grow closer. Then events threaten to undo the idyll Annie has come to enjoy. And when the opportunity of a lifetime lands in her lap, she is torn between the excitement of a new journey toward success and the safe and secure arms of the haven—and the man—she’s come to call home. In this heartwarming tale, Annie finds that the surest way to fix what is damaged within is to help others rise above their pain and find a way to heal. Praise for Cottage by the Sea “Macomber never disappoints. Tears and laughter abound in this story of loss and healing that will wrap you up and pull you in; readers will finish it in one sitting.” — Library Journal (starred review) “Macomber’s story of tragedy and triumph is emotionally engaging from the outset and ends with a satisfying conclusion. Readers will be most taken by the characters, particularly Annie, a heartwarming lead who bolsters the novel.” — Publishers Weekly Review: A Cottage By the Sea - This novel was so awesome and heartfelt. The journey that Annie took was so beautiful, it led her to true love and a wonderful life with her own family. Debbie Macomber wrote a most loving novel for everyone to enjoy. Review: Amazing Story! - The tragedy Annie faced and what Keaton dealt with was heartbreaking. But how tragedy led to a new door, and how many lives were affected rang true to how life can sometimes be. This was an amazing story and I would highly recommend it.

The best Debbie Macomber book I’ve read yet!
Debbie brought a depth to her characters, Annie and Keaton. The grief that they both had and the happiness they found with being with each other was very heart warming. I loved all the other characters in the book as well. They all had their own complex personalities. It was a great summer read!

A Heartwarming Romance About New Beginnings
This is the perfect book to curl up with on the couch, wrapped in a soft blanket with a warm cup of coffee. As a total bookworm, I was looking for a romance novel that would pull me in, and this one definitely satisfied that craving. You won’t find spoilers in my review, but if you’re looking for a story about fresh starts, new beginnings, healing, and a character who helps others find their way through difficult moments, this book is for you. It’s uplifting, heartwarming, and the perfect escape for a cozy reading day. I truly enjoyed it!

Sweet summer read
This was my first novel by her. While I liked the premise of the story it wasn't hitting all my boxes. I just think personally it was her writing style...too sweet...too cheesey. The story had a good plot but at times rushed a lot, the timeliness felt off. She tended to repeat herself a LOT! I didn't feel as connected to the mc as I wanted. The sub characters had better personalities in my opinion. It wasn't a bad story or even written bad...just simply not my taste. Her work definitely has a home but this work did not for me. In time I may try another.

Well worth a read!
I couldn't put this book down, Debbie Macomber has done it again - I'm biased as she is one of my favourite authors, if not my absolute favourite but this is a wonderful story of loss and finding love again back where you were happy, once upon a time when you were young. Annie loses her family in tragic circumstances and finds herself in a deep depression wondering how to get out of it, functioning day to day but not going anywhere. She goes back to her happy place and sets about finding her place in that community. I loved the characters and setting, one day I'll get to the Pacific Northwest to see what it's like for myself! Could there be another story about Annie in this? Who knows... I'm looking forward to the next new offering from Debbie now...

Worth reading!
A story well written, and with every chapter you get to understand the characters on a deeper level. Its not just the story of loss and sad times, but also that of friendship, love and hope- happy times.
