GRR Reviews The Sand Dollar (Oregon Coast) by Maggie Christensen

The Sand Dollar tried to set up a romance and some deep dark secrets about a woman's family history exposed, but the pieces of the puzzle didn't quite fit together, and the revelation could have been handled better.

Jenny was about to be downsized. She decided to leave Australia and visit her Godmother in Oregon, US to clear her head. But there, she found a family secret that turned her life upside down... As she struggled to put pieces of her life back together, she will need some help from her reclusive neighbor...

The storyline had been done before, and while the overall plot works, the puzzle pieces didn't fit together that well, and the neighbor almost seems superfluous, as the romance and life struggle didn't quite fit together. This is not a strictly a romance, but more of chicklit character study.
