Product Description:
A poignant novel about a woman who survives breast cancer, only to struggle with what comes next: living.
After five cancer-free years, April Newton should be celebrating, but instead she's restless. She feels her husband slipping away, and though the spectacular, stylish house he's building for her should be a fresh start, April finds herself wanting something more. As their move-in date approaches, she becomes obsessed with winning the right to buy the last bungalow in Redondo Beach, convinced that the quirky, lived-in little house represents comfort, completeness-everything she is missing in her life. And though her quest for the bungalow will take some surprising twists, it may put back together the pieces of her heart.

I agree with the other reviewer that said she just didn't get it. I also understand the fight with cancer, her husband's distance, etc. But when I finished the book I thought, "huh?" It was just an ok book - I struggled to finish it. It seemed choppy to me - something was missing, I'm just not sure what.

April seems to have it all, a loving husband, the recent news that she is a five-year breast cancer survivor, a teenage daughter she gets along with, great friends, and a great career as a freelance writer specializing in magazine articles. Her husband, a contractor, has been remodeling their home - the perfect place with a view of the ocean. But April isn't quite satisfied, or perhaps more correctly, she doesn't know what she wants. When she sees the last bungalow on the beachfront in Redondo ... Read More

I just finished reading "The last beach Bungalow" and I'm sorry to say, I just don't get it. The author has a nice voice, but that's it. The plot, if any, lost me. That fine thread that's supposed to keep you wondering didn't do it for me. Her four years and eleven months recovery from cancer I got. But the `bungalow' to me, should have had this family. It leads you to believe that, toward the end. However, this ending left me hanging off a cliff. No tie up at all that I saw. Too many characters for ... Read More

This book is fabulous! I couldn't put it down. The characters are compelling and believable. The descriptions are wonderful. I feel like I know these people now and am left wondering how they have been doing since the end of the book. I loved feeling like I was getting an insiders perspective on the magazine writer's world as well as a glimps at the thoughts of someone who has survived breast cancer. This book left me smiling, but not for the reason I thought it would. I'm sending this book to ... Read More

After having read The Last Beach Bungalow, Jennie Nash's first novel, all I can add is that I hope she keeps writing books as strongly written and as resonant as this one! It is truly one of the best books I've read in a long time and I read plenty of wonderful books, so that is saying something.
What will YOU, the reader, find to love about this one? Several things. For one, think of the way the word "home" is used in our language. We don't just use it alone but as part and parcel of so ... Read More
