I’m a mood reader, so I’d never stick to a strict order. Sometimes I want the fast-paced intrigue of the main series, sometimes I want the darker, grittier prequels. I jumped around based on summaries and never felt confused. The important lore gets re-explained naturally in each book.
If you’re not a mood reader, ignore me. But if you are, don’t chain yourself to a list. The universe is consistent enough that you can piece it together as you go, like exploring a map without a fixed route.

Can we talk about how satisfying it is to finish a long, interconnected series? You feel like you actually live there. You have opinions on the town mayor and a favorite waitress at the diner. That feeling is built by reading in order, watching the town fill in like a color-by-number painting.

Short of emailing the author herself for a master timeline, I think you're stuck with publication order like the rest of us. And you know what? That's not a bad thing. It's the path of least resistance and maximum enjoyment. The first book, 'Beneath the Scars', is a great representation of her style. If you don't like it, you probably won't like the rest. If you love it, you have a huge, wonderful backlist to binge in the perfect order.

The list is pretty definitive, as others have posted. I'd just add that the '...th' format is consistent from book five onward. It's a clever marketing gimmick that makes collecting them in order very easy. No guessing which comes next.

I made a spreadsheet once because I'm that kind of person. For the core novels up to early 2023, the publication order is: 'New Beginnings at Seaside Blooms', 'Making Wishes at Bay View', 'Chasing Dreams at Hedgehog Hollow', 'Finding Love at Hedgehog Hollow', 'A Wedding at Hedgehog Hollow', 'Family Secrets at Hedgehog Hollow', 'Christmas at Hedgehog Hollow', 'Snowflakes Over Hedgehog Hollow', 'Spring Tides at the Starfish Café', 'Summer Nights at the Starfish Café', 'Autumn Leaves at the Starfish Café', 'Winter Lights at the Starfish Café'. Then she started the Castle Cove series. This ignores novellas and short stories, which have their own placement. It's a lot, but in a good, bingeable way.

Getting into Jessica Andrews' books has been a journey packed with emotional depth and relatable experiences that are truly memorable. If you’re looking to dive into her works, starting with 'Saltwater' is a great idea. This novel beautifully captures the complexities of personal relationships against a backdrop of the stunning British coast. From the outset, you're drawn into the life of its protagonist, exploring themes of love, loss, and the struggle for identity. There’s an authenticity in Andrews’ writing that makes you feel every emotional beat deeply.
After finishing 'Saltwater', I recommend moving to 'Spring Tide', which further showcases her growth as a writer. While 'Saltwater' is more introspective, 'Spring Tide' dives into the challenges of young adulthood and the bittersweet nature of choices we make. Finally, wrapping up with 'The Last Thing I Told You' gives you a fulfilling conclusion to the nuances of her storytelling. This book delves into themes of family and forgiveness, leaving you with lingering questions about the connections we share. Each book genuinely feels like stepping into Andrews’ world, and it's a journey you won't regret.
