{"product_id":"beach-buns-maisie-wilder-9798272490377","title":"Beach Buns","description":"When Monica Reyes quits her safe paralegal job and runs off to a Florida beach town, she's hoping for peace, self-discovery, and maybe a tan.\u003cbr\u003eWhat she gets instead: a bossy lifeguard with a paddle, a surf instructor with a dangerous smile, and one very judgmental dog.\u003cbr\u003eEvery attempt to fit in ends with a citation, a spanking, or a kiss - sometimes all three. But when Monica's biggest blunder yet sends a thirty-foot shrimp balloon flying into the sky (and her life viral), she'll have to decide whether to run home or finally trust the tide that keeps pulling her toward chaos, courage, and love.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBeach Buns\u003c\/i\u003e is a hilarious, heartfelt sapphic rom-com with heat, heart, and a healthy dose of discipline - the queer beach read you didn't know you needed.\u003cbr\u003eMonica Reyes had everything her parents wanted for her - a respectable job, a color-coded life plan, and a retirement account that could make an actuary weep. What she didn't have was happiness.\u003cbr\u003eSo she does the sensible thing: throws her degree in the back seat and drives until the map runs out. She lands in Seabreak, a sun-warmed Florida town where the coffee is strong, the gossip is stronger, and the lifeguards enforce beach ordinances with suspiciously effective \"corrective measures.\"\u003cbr\u003eBetween public embarrassment, one very thorough beach-patrol officer named Harper, and a flirtatious surf instructor named Lina who teaches her that surrender can be its own kind of freedom, Monica's new life quickly turns into a crash course in chaos management - heavy on the \u003ci\u003ecrash.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen her latest attempt at civic involvement goes airborne - literally - and turns her into an overnight meme, Monica must decide whether she's destined for disaster or if every mistake has been leading her exactly where she belongs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBeach Buns\u003c\/i\u003e is a sun-drenched sapphic romantic comedy filled with humor, heart, and heat.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Maisie Wilder\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798272490377\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 146\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.25w x 0.31d","brand":"Maisie Wilder","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48242026545407,"sku":"9798272490377","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_55716434-ce34-487b-9c30-3f2199685072.jpg?v=1772657139","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/beach-buns-maisie-wilder-9798272490377","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
