Books like Julia by Shannon Waverly
Julia Lewis leaves the city after a decade to return to Harmony, the small East Coast island where she grew up with close friends Lauren, Cathryn, and Amber. A sudden tragedy—Amber’s death—forces Julia to confront both grief and the community she once knew. While reconnecting with longtime companions, Julia is drawn to Ben Grant, the charming Boston journalist who now owns the island’s weekly paper. Ben’s growing suspicion that Amber’s death was a murder, not a suicide, and his criticism of the police investigation led by chief of police Charlie Slocum, put Julia in the middle of a tense personal and civic conflict. Amid nostalgic reunions, budding romance, and mounting tension over the case, Julia must decide how much she trusts Ben and whether she can accept the truth about Amber’s death.
