BOOK REVIEW

In a delightful cocktail of heartfelt moments and charming quirkiness, The Lifeguard, the Runaway Bride, & Frozen Custard sweeps readers into a sun-soaked tale of love, self-discovery, and the perfect scoop of frozen custard. Carol Moncado weaves together the lives of her characters with a deft touch, transporting us to the idyllic setting of Serenity Landing, where the ocean breeze carries not just salt but secrets and untamed dreams.
At its core, this third installation in the Serenity Landing Lifeguards series embodies the struggles and triumphs of the human spirit. Here, the lifeguard-strong and steadfast-contrasts beautifully against the runaway bride, whose heart is a maze of emotions. Moncado skillfully draws us into a narrative filled with laughter, tears, and the sweet taste of custard that lingers long after the last page is turned. One can almost smell the salty air mixed with the creamy coldness of the custard, a tantalizing detail that draws the reader deeper into the immersive world she has crafted.
Critics and readers alike have been spellbound by Moncado's ability to create catchy moments that resonate. Her dialogue crackles with authenticity, and the emotional arcs of her characters feel almost like a gentle embrace. Yet, it is in the small, poignant scenes-the shared laughter, the tender glances, the moments of doubt-where Moncado truly shines. The lifeguard and the bride must confront their aspirations and fears, forcing you to reflect on your own choices while your heart races with their unfolding romance. Your pulse quickens as you question whether love will triumph amidst the chaos of uncertainty.
As you dive deeper into the story, one thing becomes clear: Moncado doesn't just invite you into her world; she insists you swim alongside her characters. You might find yourself laughing out loud at the lighthearted pranks among the lifeguards, or biting your nails during moments of heart-wrenching vulnerability. Readers have praised the charming dynamics among the characters, noting how the camaraderie and friendly banter resemble a warm gathering on a summer day. But they also express the power of vulnerability portrayed through the runaway bride's struggle, astutely reflecting the complexities of love, identity, and personal growth that many face.
Detractors may argue that the story relies on classic tropes; however, the execution is what sets this narrative apart. Moncado's rich character development and relatable dilemmas elevate the ordinary to extraordinary heights. Rather than detracting from the plot, these conventions create a sense of familiarity and warmth, drawing readers into a heartfelt embrace.
In this modern fairy tale filled with whimsical charm, readers not only find delight but also a compelling exploration of decisions that shape destinies. As you savor the sweet escapade laid out before you, The Lifeguard, the Runaway Bride, & Frozen Custard dares you to reflect on your journey through love and life.
