Summary
After the death of a childhood loved one, 5 best friends reunite in the small coastal town of Five Island Cove. One doesn't expect to find love with a high school crush. Another isn't prepared to find the strength she needs to take control of her life. And none of them are ready for the secrets they'll uncover at the lighthouse...

As the truth comes to light, these five best friends will learn what really matters: friendship, family, and faith.

Now a USA Today bestseller!

When Joel Shields dies, Robin Grover's only goal is to get her four best friends back to Five Island Cove to celebrate the life of Kristen's husband. She alone has stayed in the cove while everyone else couldn't wait to get away. 

Alice Keller comes instantly, because her mansion in the Hamptons and her husband's infidelity is smothering her. Not only that, but Kristen has always been like a mother to her, and she wants to support her.

Eloise Hall comes quickly too, because she's not teaching at the university this summer, and she might as well visit her mother—and the house she secretly bought years ago. Her first night on the island, she runs into an old high school crush, and a flame ignites that hasn't been there before.

But Kelli Thompson and AJ Proctor are more resistant, and as Robin, Alice, and Eloise uncover secret after secret in the books, journals, and files in Joel's office, Robin becomes more determined to reunite them all. 

When Kelli and AJ finally arrive in the cove, the women are embroiled in secrets the lighthouse has hidden for decades. Robin tries to hold them all together, but she too breaks down and admits that her perfect-on-the-outside life isn't so perfect.

As these 5 best friends work together to find the truth, they must learn to let go of what doesn't matter and cling to what does: faith, family, and most of all, friendship.

I’m always surprised when I download a free book and it’s good! I loved the friendships love they all had for each other. Narrator was wonderful!!

I stayed a little confused throughout the book because of the many characters. I liked the reunion of old friends, but I would have liked to have known their ages. I couldn't follow along too good, but it wasn't bad. It was a free book and the first of a series, so I might choose another in the series and hopefully it will clear up my confusion.

Great book!

Profile Avatar Heather S. Apr 2023

It was difficult to keep up with the myriad of characters and remember who was who throughout the book. I found myself questioning why characters were overreacting they way they did to what seemed like minor inconveniences. Overall it was about friendship spanning decades and the descriptions of the lighthouse and island details were well done. It left a lot to be desired in substance but an easy listen.

Profile Avatar The Month Feb 2023

I enjoyed the story of these women who knew each other for decades and how they came together through difficult times and reaffirmed the importance of their friendships! Excellent, easy to listen narration too!

Profile Avatar Mary S. Feb 2023

Good book. A little hard to keep up with at times, but liked the story of friendship.

Profile Avatar Rick B. Jan 2023

Very interesting, a good listen while on a long drive state to state.

Profile Avatar Jamie Jan 2023

I really liked the story. It made me think of my longtime friends and how to spend more time together! The narrator has a great tone and made it easy to follow which character was speaking. I’m looking forward to hearing the next books in this series!

Great for a free book. I really enjoyed the story and the characters.

Profile Avatar Virginia R. Jan 2023

I was very pleased with this book in the narration. I'm always happy when that happens. I drive all day and it really helps to pass the time more enjoyably if I'm listening to a good book. I do plan on listening to the other books in this series. I recommend this.

Profile Avatar Wendy Jan 2023

I enjoyed the story but the narrator was underwhelming. She had no enthusiasm.

Profile Avatar Tracey S. Dec 2022

The story was one you wanted here but I found the narration let it down a little. A little stilted and I found the pauses after every he said, she said etc a tad annoying

Profile Avatar Anonymous Dec 2022

Good free book

Profile Avatar Kadri P. Oct 2022

Quite slow and boring plot. if you are looking for something interesting or thrilling, this is not for you. Byt if you just want to pass time and you do not have an interesting book then it will do the job. At least narrator is good.

Profile Avatar Lyn M. Oct 2022

I enjoyed this book. Worth a read

Profile Avatar Denis L. Jul 2022

slow start but I finally got into the story. Good narration.

Profile Avatar Mr S. Jul 2022

It was such a boring book. I went on 1.5x speed just to fish it quickly but still I failed to endure after 1 n half hour and stopped listening. Narrator was a good one though.

Profile Avatar Lisa V. Jul 2022

Narration a bit slow. I bumped the speed up to 1.25 and it was much better.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Jul 2022

Narrator was awful Her voice is far too unctuous, exaggeratedly soft. Didn’t get through the second chapter.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Jun 2022

I truly liked this book and narrator was excellent

Profile Avatar Shirley O. Jun 2022

Good story about deep rooted friendships with some unsuspecting truths revealed.

Profile Avatar Katie S. Jun 2022

I love, love, love this book series! I wish there were more! You won’t be disappointed.

Profile Avatar Kayla Prowell Jun 2022

Great book, kept my attention easily. This book makes you wander what you really know about people. Narrator did a good job there were so many characters.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Jun 2022

Great story of friendships that spanned 30 years, lies and deeption as they gather for a funeral. Felt as if I was there with them as they struggled and overcame!

Profile Avatar Anonymous Apr 2022

it was ok, not much of a climax to it.

Profile Avatar Elle N. Apr 2022

i really enjoyed this book.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Apr 2022

The book had a minor plot with little substance!

Profile Avatar Denise B. Mar 2022

Rather silly predictable plot and sugary sweet over the top sentimental narration. Somewhat boring, wish I hadn't bothered. Only continued to read to the end in the futile hope that something interesting was going to happen. It didn't.

Profile Avatar Tamara R. Mar 2022

Not bad, enough to make me want to listen more, but a slow, gentle story. Not gripping or enough to make me want to read more of the series.

Profile Avatar Tiger Rose Mar 2022

excellent

Profile Avatar Susan H. Mar 2022

Took a while to get my head around all the characters but once I had I enjoyed the story. Albeit Joel got off too lightly.
