Beaches II by Iris Rainer Dart6/11/2023 I found it disappointing that we missed so much of Nina’s childhood, and she very quickly grows up throughout the book, and then into a teenager, where she quite promptly wreaks havoc in Cece’s life. The author waffles on for pages, ignoring whole passages of time, and using the alternating past/present chapters formula that was used in the first book. It reads very much like a soap opera, but at times, the author came across like a low rent Jackie Collins. It’s totally unnecessary and didn’t need to be written. I have recommended the first book, but I would advise staying away from this book, unless you really, really loved the first book. So I was looking forward to reading the sequel and following on with Cece’s life. I had really enjoyed Beaches and found that it had changed my opinion about the film.
