Shore House Slumming Kindle Edition

See all formats and editions
Working as an editor in Seattle, Dana Kline led a happy life. She had great friends, a career she adored, and her health couldn’t be better. But everything about it was mundane and safe. EVERYTHING. No gamble would have made her change her ways, so life was going to change it for her. After an unexpected release from her job and then finding out that she would become practically homeless for the summer, Dana gathered her courage and found herself ready to try a new life in Florida. The only problem was getting herself across the nation on a tight budget, hardly any connections, and an unadventurous self. After many stops along both coast lines Dana finds out that it’s okay to let her hair down, meet new people, and try new escapades. Just as long as her sanity doesn’t fly away with the seagulls.

Entertaining read, perfect for those lazy summer days
Shore House Slumming is the second novel written by author Carli Palmer. Super cool side note, a quote from my review on her first novel, Down the Aisle with Bridezilla is in the front of her new novel!You know that saying that it’s not about the destination but the journey on the way? That has never been more true than when reading this novel. The bulk of the novel itself is about Dana’s journey to her new job and home in Florida. She has some of the most outrageous, ridiculous and absolutely chaotic stops along the way. There were too many stops to mention them all, but one of my favorites was when she gets tied up with a neighbor that has her little daughter in those pageants with the big princessy dresses, big hair and lots of attitude.Sometimes when you stop planning your life out just so and live your life one day at a time, the best things can happen. This novel was an entertaining light-hearted read, perfect for those lazy summer days that are still upon us.I received a complimentary paperback review copy from the author in exchange for an honest review.

2.0 out of 5 stars Very slow start that didn't pick up for me
Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2016
Sadly, found this story rather flat... I couldn't get a good feel on the characters because stuff just happened and that was supposedly the thrust for the story. Not to mention that I also found it very slow - it takes a lot of reading and a long, long time to even get to what is supposed to be the heart of the story as mentioned in the blurb. My attention was already veering elsewhere by that point and I just couldn't get into enjoying the story again once I left it to go do whatever else I had to do in real life.

3.0 out of 5 stars One of those books to read on the beach
Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2016
I loved the premise of this book - the idea of staying in lots of different houses, by the water, for a whole summer sounds fabulous, right? Dana's first few 'stays' were brilliant but things seem to go from bad to worse, leaving her in all kinds of weird and wonderful predicaments. Shore House Slumming is one of those books to read on the beach - it's really easy reading and should certainly leave you with a smile on your face. However, there is a sense of there being just a little too much going on. I think had the author toned that down a little bit, and added more depth of character, it would have been a better read. I wasn't totally sold on the ending, either. I think it concluded too quickly - I wanted to get a true sense of how Dana really felt at the end of such an exciting summer. After all, she'd certainly been through a lot!

5.0 out of 5 stars Shore House Slumming by Carli Palmer, a Really Good Read! Reviewed by Loraine Oliver
Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2016
Shore House Slumming was a really good read and I enjoyed it so much! This story tells about a young woman named Dana Kline and how in the blink of an eye her neat ordered life turns into a completely opposite and chaotic one!

After going to work one day and being let go, she decides that a little time off is in order, only to find out she has to move because her roommate is moving out and moving in with her fiance, and the lease on their place is up a little bit earlier than she had anticipated!

After looking around , she hears about a job in Florida, and is told the job starts at the end of summer so she decides to take the job and give it a try, but that still leaves the problem of where she is going to live while she travels from Seattle to Florida, on a very tight budget!

What results is the most comical and best summer of her life as one situation ends and another place to live starts, and all these places she goes to are places she got from her friends and their relatives, their friends and word of mouth, and just sheer luck! Dana starts out on the west coast and makes her way to the other side of the country and anther coastline on a very tight budget, making friends and learning more about herself than she ever knew, and realizing that it's okay not to know what she is going to be doing next week and how limiting her life up to now has been, how she has always been content to stay at home and live a certain way, and that just maybe trying new things will be a good thing!

Take a trip with Dana and see what life on the road is like, and how beautiful the places she gets to see are, how she is so lucky to live in some wonderful homes, and how the people she meets shape her thoughts on life, family, friendship and the joy of just being alive and experiencing things for the first time! As she makes her way across the country from Seattle via the Coast of California, Georgia, Louisiana, and everywhere else in between until she reaches Florida, Dana slowly reshapes her life, breaking out of her mold and emerging as a confidant, strong and brave young woman.

I highly recommend this book and gave this book 5***** outstanding stars! This is the first book I have read by Carli Palmer and I can't wait to read more!

Review. I loved this book

A very enjoyable read. This is the Eat Pray Love of the summer ! A witty well written story about a women losing her job, daring to start a new life and traveling across the country to begin again. Out of her element she forges a fresh start with laughter, bravery and a lot of luck. The ultimate summer read. A enjoyable reading experience for all fans of women's fiction,.
