This 100 page prequel novella to Mary Kay Andrews's bestselling novel Beach Town is sure to delight fans and new readers alike.
Greer Hennessy is a movie location scout whose latest project has literally gone up in flames. After an avocado field accidentally catches fire on the set of her new movie, she is out of a job and practically run out of town. With her feisty grandmother Dearie, a Golden Age starlet who still has a lot of vigor left in her, complicating her life, Greer needs a bit of a rest. But Greer's own mother then drops a bombshell on her that will change Greer's life completely, and raise questions about her own father that she can't ignore. In desperate need of a second chance, can Greer find what she's looking for in the one last job she can get: a movie called BEACH TOWN? But first, she needs to find the perfect spot...

My Review
Beach Town by Mary Kay Andrews came out in paperback this week. To introduce readers to main character Greer Hennessy, Andrews released a short prequel to the tale with Change of Scene. Greer is a movie location scout and Change of Scene provides readers with insight into how Greer ended up scouting locations in Florida after a movie disaster on her last movie.
Change of Scene is a good introduction to the people in Greer's life. I am now looking forward to reading Beach Town! Enjoyable short story.
