Reading What Happens in Brighton felt like stepping into a seaside escape filled with romance, charm, and second chances. Each story swept me away with its mix of Regency elegance and heartfelt connections, making it a collection I truly enjoyed. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This wonderful collection of nine stories written by nine famous authors was an enchanting and heartwarming anthology set in the magical place of Brighton. These entertaining stories gave a fresh perspective on love and that it only takes a daring choice to change everything. I enjoyed every single delightful character and their entertaining journeys to love and happiness on their own terms. I highly recommend reading every story!

What a fun collection of short stories! Perfect for when you don't have time for a novel but want a little pick-me-up. Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.
