Pink Moon by Stef Ann Holm

The California coastal town is named for its romantic beauty and spectacular moon. People here know that when a ping moon appears, something unexpected happens. . .

When single mom Lauren Jessup sees a picture of Bella Luna on a postcard, a strange feeling comes over her. And she decides on the spot to move with her six-year-old son to the small town. Did she pick Bella Luna, or did it pick her?
Lauren soon realizes she's not cut out for the waitressing job she takes, but she's a good listener, and regular customer Nick DiMartino needs a sympathetic ear: his ex-wife has come back to claim their son. Lauren begins to believe she's found a real home here, even if staying means opening her heart to Nick, whose troubles threaten to end what has barely begun. But here in Bella Luna, under the magic of a pink moon, people soon learn to expect the unexpected.

This is another reread. Lauren kind of got on my nerves. She likes to move around a lot. And once she feels to comfortable, she gets scared and moves. Dragging her poor little boy with her. She's proud and doesn't like accepting help from anyone.

One thing I bugged me was Nick constantly saying Dude. It just didn't flow. I know I'll say dude, but it just comes out naturally. It didn't sound right coming from Nick. Kind of got annoying after a while.
