The Beach House is a different type of novel for Green however this does not take away the appeal and enjoyment of this book. Green is known for her Chick-lit genre and this novel does not fit into that category.
The Beach house is comprised of several life stories from different individuals who are all going through a life changing event and find a degree of peace on Nantucket Island.
This characters are developed and some jump off the pages however if you expect the same type of writing as in Jemima J and her other novels you need to clear your mind and have a fresh slate. The Beach House is not Green's usual work and is based more on the lives and events of middle-aged adults and the struggles of divorce, having children, being a homosexual in a heterosexual marriage and looking for a love your have never had.
This book examines relationships on several levels, this quick read will keep you entertained!
Grade: B+
