Mariners Island is barely ten miles long, but when Ivy, Ariana and Cam were teenagers, it was their whole world. Beyond the pristine beaches and iconic lighthouse lies the beautiful old library that belongs to Ivy's family. While that bound Ivy to the island as an adult, Ariana could not leave Mariners behind fast enough. The town holds too many memories. Not only her unrequited feelings for Cam, but the tragedy that left a scar on the community. When a young girl went missing, a teenaged Cam was unthinkably the prime suspect. Ariana and Ivy knew he couldn't have hurt anyone, and they promised to protect him--even if it meant lying on his behalf. Now, twenty years later, Ariana returns to Mariners just as new evidence emerges on the case, calling into question everything the three friends thought they knew--and everyone they thought they could trust. What really happened that night? Over the course of one eventful summer, Ariana, Ivy and Cam will learn the truth--about their pasts, their futures and the ties that still bind them as closely as the pages of a book.

The Seaside Library by Brenda Novak takes us to Mariners Island where a missing girl�s body has finally been found. The Seaside Library is a mixture of mystery and romance. The three main characters were okay. I was not a fan of any of them. They are three aggravating people. They made a mistake when they were teenagers, and we get reminded of it in every single chapter. The story is easy to read, but it is hard to get through due to the characters and repetition. The alternating point-of-view did not help. I found myself skimming through sections (the repetitive bits). The mystery is easy to solve. I kept hoping there would be a twist that would surprise me. The cover does not go with the story. While there is a seaside library, it is not at the center of the story. I liked the history behind the library. I understood why Ivy loved the place along with her historic home. I thought the story was over a hundred pages too long. I read The Seaside Library, but I did not enjoy it. It does have a feel-good ending and I appreciated the epilogue. The Seaside Library was not a good fit for me. The Seaside Library is a curious story with a cold case, an excavated skeleton, a fuming family, a little lie, an insecure spouse, a concealed love, and the tragic truth.
