Sometimes, when it’s summer, I venture away from my typical nonfiction read to a fictional book. They are starting to feel the same, though. If I had a dollar for every book I have read that starts in Boston. Then, the protagonist ends up in Nantucket, Cape Cod, etc. She is always a writer. Sometimes, she gets fired, and other times, she circles back to it.
There is always a snarky character. A fashionista. A bookstore somehow always makes it into the story. There is always a cottage. There is a local hotel. Often, something is being filmed or there is a celebrity element. There is a dramatic scene involving water, a ferry, bridge or short plane ride back to Boston. It’s a recipe. What can I say?
