Lost Coast Literary by Ellie Alexander

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


A fun yet deep, sentimental, and heartwarming story. This is not quite what I expected. I didn’t really know what this book was about when I picked it up and then as I read it, I figured out the gist of it pretty quick but there was a bit of a twist in the story I wasn’t expecting. I thought this twist was great and it’s a big part of what makes the book, which I’m not sure how much to say because I don’t want to spoil anything either.
This is about Emily Bryant, who is a book editor, and how she ends up in a charming town called Cascata on California’s Lost Coast to fulfill her grandmother’s wishes to inherit her estate now that her grandmother has died. She finds that what she is required to do to inherit the estate is to edit some old manuscripts. As she starts to examine and check out these manuscripts, she discovers that there’s something strange and different about them.
What she discovers is what I consider the twist that makes the whole story and makes it all so unique and interesting so you’ll likely know what it is if you read the complete summary, but I don’t want to say it here because I went into reading this blind and loved discovering the twist without knowing anything beforehand. This is about family, relationships, finding yourself, realizing, and following your dreams. It’s reminiscent of a Hallmark movie-type plot with only a little romance, emotional and full of heart.
Thanks so much to NetGalley and Sweet Lemon Press LLC for letting me read and review this lovely, charming, and heartfelt story. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
