Best I've Ever Had

Series background & context
Sea Breeze Meets Rosemary Beach is where two of Abbi Glines' biggest worlds finally overlap. It is a crossover mini-series that lets longtime readers see familiar families from a new angle.
These books focus on a younger set of characters who grew up in the shadow of the Sea Breeze and Rosemary Beach couples. The connections matter, parents and friends from earlier novels pop in, and old history shapes new relationships.
It reads like a next chapter, not a reboot.
The trilogy starts with Like a Memory, a second-chance story that brings Nate Finlay and Bliss York back together after years apart. Because of Lila follows a Rosemary Beach newcomer trying to reinvent herself in Sea Breeze, where both a new love and an old crush complicate the plan. Best I've Ever Had keeps the themes of coming home, growing up, and deciding what you want before the town decides for you.
You can read these without having read every earlier book, but you will catch more of the emotional weight if you know the original Sea Breeze and Rosemary Beach casts.
If you want crossover vibes, cameos, and romances that feel grounded in a shared community, this is the easiest place to start.
