The Beach Trap
Book Feature - The Beach Trap by Ali Brady
HBL Note: Eeeeeeek! I am so excited to share this book with you. It is written by the writing duo Alison Hammer, author of You and Me and Us and Little Pieces of Me and Bradeigh Godfrey who just published her first solo book this year, called Imposter. Alison gifted me a copy of The Beach Trap a few months ago and I devoured it. It was the perfect light-hearted summer read about two estranged half-sisters who inherit a home from their father. They spend the summer renovating it and doing their best to avoid one another.
As I read through it, I was texting Alison about my favorite parts and some predictions and especially about those steamy scenes (which I learned Bradeigh has a knack for!) I read THE BEACH TRAP shortly after I read Mary Kay Andrew’s latest novel, The Homewreckers, which is also about a home renovation (but hers has a mystery twist.) Both books were delightful so if you’re a fan of Mary Kay Andrews, you should definitely give Ali Brady books a try! They are already hard at work on their second novel!

From the publisher:
When twelve-year-olds Kat Steiner and Blake O’Neill meet at Camp Chickawah, they have an instant connection. But everything falls apart when they learn they’re not just best friends—they’re also half sisters. Confused and betrayed, the girls break off all contact.
Fifteen years later, when their father dies suddenly, Kat and Blake discover he’s left them a joint inheritance: the family beach house in Destin, Florida. The two sisters are immediately at odds. Blake, who has recently been demoted from regular nanny to dog nanny, wants to sell the house, while social media influencer Kat is desperate to hold on to the place where she lived so many happy memories.
Kat and Blake reluctantly join forces to renovate the dilapidated house, with the understanding that Kat will try to buy Blake out at the end of the summer. The women clash as Blake’s renovation plans conflict with Kat’s creative vision; meanwhile, each sister finds herself drawn into a summer romance. As the weeks pass, the two women realize the most difficult project they face this summer will be coming to grips with their shared past—and learning how to become sisters.
