The Seaside series launched in 2012 with Tear and grew to ten books through 2020. Set in a small coastal community, the series follows a close group of friends whose lives intertwine across multiple summers. Each book spotlights a different couple while the larger friend group provides a warm, recurring backdrop.
Van Dyken’s writing keeps the tone light and fun, with beach settings, summer heat, and the kind of low-stakes drama that makes for easy, satisfying reading. The series was popular enough to generate the Seaside Pictures spinoff and numerous companion novellas.
