I was so looking forward to my return trip to beautiful Hawaii to see Quinn and Maggie who are best friends, not realizing I would discover the hidden skeletons in their closets.
Maggie has moved to Maui with her adorable son Charlie. Looking for a new start in building her new life.
A book that drew me in from the start, with suspense, fear, danger, anxiety and romance.
I really enjoyed the story and could not put it down. As well as the beautiful scenery and finding out some legends,and history.
I highly recommend the book!

Thank you NetGalley and Lake Union Publishing for the opportunity to read this book.

No Place too Far is a story I simply could not put down. In book two of the By the Sea series we get to check in on Quinn and get to know Maggie. Maggie is looking for a fresh start and being near her best friend Quinn in beautiful Maui seemed like the best place to build her new life. Her precocious son, Charlie is everything to Maggie and she works hard to make a good life for them. When a danger from her past emerges, Maggie isn't sure where to turn. Meanwhile, Quinn is settling into her new family dynamic when an uncomfortable situation arises her first thought is to protect the family that has already endured so much heartache. I love how Kay Bratt writes true friendships like Maggie and Quinn and Maggie's new coworker who becomes a fast friend. Bratt explores themes all women wrestle with from anxiety to guilt and forgiveness all while delivering a story that keeps the reader turning the pages as fast as she can. This is a must read! Thank you to the author and NetGalley for the ARC. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Kay Bratt. No Place Too Far. Remember the name and title. Believe me, when you read the book it's not a name or a title you will likely forget. No Place Too Far was a pleasant surprise. This was the first book I had read by Kay Bratt. It is actually part of a series but there are plenty of explanations throughout the book so you don't feel too lost. This book focuses on Maggie and her son Charlie. Maggie has a stalker and she is trying to start over after he is imprisoned. But, of course, he doesn't stay incarcerated. He is soon out and Maggie is back in the grips of terror. The other characters in the story have their own interesting storylines. I will definitely go back and read the books leading up to No Place Too Far. And I will definitely go back and read every Kay Bratt book I can find. From the first sentence to the last, the book is wonderful! The descriptions of beautiful Hawaii and the lifestyles of the people that live there are fascinating. Plus the addition of historical facts from the beautiful state are things that I never knew. No Place Too Far is a book that I could not put down. I stayed up late reading it and will actually have to give myself a couple of weeks before I can get a manicure because my fingernails are bitten down to the nub. I am giving No Place Too Far five stars only because I can't give it anymore. I voluntarily received a copy of this book from netgalley.

I got hooked pretty much as soon as I started reading. The characters are likable and the story intertwined with some history and legends of Hawaii was very interesting. It was written beautifully and I really enjoyed it. It was a quick fast read and kept me entertained until the very end.

Can a story be both sweet and yet full of suspense and fear? This is exactly what Kay Bratt has done in this amazing novel that I devoured in one day!
As I happily returned to Hawaii to see best friends Maggie and Quinn once again, I realized that there were some "skeletons in both closets" that created anxiety and panic for these ladies.
Sometimes, you just cannot outrun your secrets and fears until you confront them head on. Something these bestie's must realize to find happiness and safety in their lives as well as their families!
However... will they?
It is truly a heartwarming, suspenseful, love story that had me on the edge of my chair at times and at other times, just truly feeling emotional!
Excellent!
