My Review:
Betsy is the fifth (and final!) book in the Sewing in SoCal series by Sarah Monzon. While each book can be read as a stand-alone novel, I recommend reading them in order as the friends are in each book and the timeline continues to build. Otherwise, you will get minor spoilers from the earlier books.

My Review:
Wedding at Sea by Melissa Tagg is a dramatic conclusion to the series. Happy sigh. I reiterate what I said in my review of A Seaside Wonder: read the books in order! Do not read this book without reading the first two or you will get major spoilers, and you do not want this series spoiled. It is so enchanting.

My Review:
A Seaside Wonder overlaps just a little bit with Autumn by the Sea, but now it is Indi's perspective. Details the reader didn't even know they needed are revealed, immediately engaging the reader. I highly recommend reading this series in order. You will get huge spoilers by reading it out of order.
