Description

Spend another month in Five Island Cove and experience an amazing adventure between five best friends, the challenges they face, the secrets threatening to come between them, and their undying support of each other. Eloise Hall has reached a turning point: she either wants to marry Aaron or break up. Her scientific mind gets clouded by her heart, and she decides to quit her job at Boston University and move back to Five Island Cove to fix up and open The Cliffside Inn, a building she purchased decades ago on the rocky cliffs of Sanctuary Island. She thinks that'll show Aaron she's ready to wear a diamond and say I-do. Robin and Alice are dealing with their teenage children who've started dating when Alice learns that her ex-husband has lost his high-paying job and is having financial problems. All of the payments she's been getting...won't be coming anymore.  With her husband back from Alaska, Robin struggles to learn how to balance home and family with her full-time job as well as her friends. When she has to make a difficult choice between her husband and helping Eloise with the inn, Robin doesn't know which to support. AJ has met a great guy - or so she says. She's been texting her friends about a man named Peterson, but when they're supposed to come to the cove to help Eloise with the inn, only AJ shows up. Kelli brings her son to the cove for another extended vacation after learning her husband has started another relationship in New Jersey. He's asked her to consider an open relationship where they stay married, and he can still see and date this other woman. With their different personalities and in their different states of mind, none of these best friends are prepared for the secret contained within the walls of The Cliffside Inn. They've survived tough situations before, but this might be the thing that tears them apart for good...

    Interesting story but it was hard to keep the characters straight. I really expected the sherif to find out a way to arrest her brother and get the money back. Maybe in another book. Thanks g

    I loved the adult relationships with the lifetime friends. The aging process has only deepened their friendships. Their ability to have each other’s back’s reminds me of my high school friends who remain so supportive in my long 50+ years of friendship. I highly recommend this book.

    This book made you want to live in the location it was written and have the friendships these ladies do. I loved how they were always there for one another and yet they had there arguments too. I wish I could proofread for this author as there were many typos, etc.
  • Full of exciting confusion

    So many characters to develop. The result was a group of forever friends that could never be separated.
  • Decent read.

    The story line is pretty good. But there are a lot of grammar issues which can be puzzling. I’ve had to re-read sentences to understand what was supposed to be said.
  • Strong female friendships and great relationships

    This is the first Jessie Newton book I’ve read and I’m addicted to her. Even though this book is not a first in the series, I cared for Eloise, Alice, Robin, A.J., Kelli and their “families” like they were my own. There were a few spots where I was questioning who someone was, probably from a previous book, but that character was not integral to this story. The storyline was dynamic with a lot of layers to each character and there was depth to the story and the characters. I will be reading her other books and I absolutely recommend this book to anyone who likes to read about real characters and their struggles and achievements. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
