My Review:

What a joy to be invited to the Wedding of the Year with the whole gang from Stoney Point in Blue Jeans and Coffee Beans. I just love that when I start a book Joanne writes I am at the beach hearing the waves break and the smells of salt air the beach smells. I just love how Joanne writes the characters in a way that you know them like you have lived next to them. Maris and Jason are finishing the last minute details for their wedding. As the cottages are rented for the wedding, the gatherings and the sea is there to “Cures what ails you.”  

This book will have you running to the beach for more, Joanne Thank you again for the book for exchange of an honest review. Grab a Mason jar and head to the beach listen to the waves break and smell the salt air. It will definitely cure what ails you. 
Rating 5 Stars *****    

Synopsis:

 During two August weeks, denim designer Maris Carrington and coastal architect Jason Barlow prepare for their much-anticipated wedding. Guests arrive early, turning keys in charming cottage doors to begin their New England summer escape. The wedding is a reason for old friends to gather again; to meet in their shabby beach hangout and get the jukebox cranking; to walk that weathered boardwalk beneath a starry sky; to breathe the sweet salt air. "Cures what ails you," one of the friends, Neil, always said long before his life was sadly claimed. But his legacy was not.

When Maris discovers Neil's long-lost journal, its passages reveal a heartbreaking secret. Can truths be found within its timeworn pages? Can this leather-bound journal unite the friends as their lives begin to fray? A bittersweet family reunion, a surprising encounter from a devastating accident, a shocking confession leaving one marriage shattered--all will test the once close-knit circle. Suddenly this safe haven on the tranquil Connecticut shoreline churns with emotional turmoil, threatening even the beach wedding just days before it is to happen.

Yet like a silver cap on a breaking wave, love and friendship wash ashore with hope, ever shimmering, in The Denim Blue Sea.
