About this listen

New York Times best-selling author Shelley Noble takes her fans on another beach adventure where a young woman discovers the power of family and forgiveness.

School teacher Julie Barlow and her two best friends, Beth and Aggie, are looking forward to an adults-only beach vacation. Julie also plans to use the time to figure out why her perfectly planned life has gone terribly amiss. They’ve barely hit the road when a frantic call from Julie’s mother hijacks their best-laid plans. Uncle Tony “Lucky” Costa is missing. Always entertaining, often irresponsible, never reliable, Uncle Lucky was a favorite with her friends. For Julie, for whom he’d been a sometimes surrogate father, not so much.

Her mother wants them to take a “teeny” detour to look for the irascible retired surfer. Julie makes excuses. After all, she was the one who decided she never wanted to see Lucky again. Overruled in this as she is in much of her life, Julie and her friends detour to Lucky’s latest scheme, Lucky’s Beach Bar and Grill. They find it tucked away in a quaint coastal town on the Delaware coast. With a crescent beach of white sand, large waves, plenty of tanned young men, a lively night life, it’s a perfect beach getaway.

Beth and Aggie see good times ahead, Julie is determined to get through it as quickly as possible. But that will change as she gets to know Lucky’s friends and confidantes. The taciturn bartender, the loyal housekeeper, the local fortune teller, the whole town shares a determination to protect him. But from what?

Soon Julie and her friends are swept up in an effort to save the town's - and Lucky’s - most closely guarded secret. And Julie begins to see her uncle in a new light.

Julie Barlow has a few things to learn about life - and love - and sacrifice. Her lesson begins this summer at Lucky’s Beach.

Could have been shorter

Characters were engaging and overall story had depth, but very drawn out in areas, especially the last half of book.

good book

I like the different characters, not just the same old people. The main character takes risks to help children in need.

Irritating narrator

I should have listened to the other reviewers who complained of the narrator’s habit of taking a breath at the end of each sentence. It was VERY distracting and irritating. It took away from the story and i just wanted it to end.

Loved the book, the only issue was

The narrator has a bad habit of a loud breath after almost every sentence. Other than that I loved her. It kind of gets annoying after awhile. Still have 6 hours left not sure I can finish. Might ask for a refund.

It was ok

A little long. Streamline the reminiscing for a better story. The second half was better.
