About this listen
"Fans of Debbie Macomber, The Chesapeake Bay series and Elin Hilderbrand will love this series..." Kindle Reader
"A story about friendship, sisterhood, mother-daughter relationships, finding your inner strength in the face of adversity, starting over, and the pursuit of true love..." Andi's Books
"Best book of the year. I know it's only March, but it is....Ms. Keaton's storytelling is brilliant..." Harlie's Books
She's 54, broken-hearted, and starting over....
High-powered New York attorney Ava Flynn finds herself without a job or a future. Unemployable at her age, and broken-hearted by a husband who left her in the lurch, she desperately needs a Plan B. Her prayers are answered when a wealthy benefactor wills her a large house in the 'Sconset Beach area of Nantucket. She heads out to the picturesque New England island with her two best friends, Quinn and Hallie, going along for the ride.
Hallie is at her own crossroads. She has a dead marriage, a daughter who won't speak to her because she smothers her, and no life to speak of. She has a drinking issue and an unhappiness issue as well. She's also dealing with menopause symptoms that are literally keeping her awake. She feels that her life is over for her, but the island, and a beautiful young psychic named Willow, show her that her life is just beginning.
Sarah, Ava's long-lost sister, is heading out to the island as well. Sarah was the beautiful golden girl who's always had a charmed life. She was the cheerleader and homecoming queen in high school, the gorgeous cool kid that Ava never was. She was the paramour of a globe-trotting billionaire who never had to lift a finger to do much of anything. But looks are deceiving. At the moment, Ava hasn't spoken to Sarah in over 20 years.
Nobody can break your heart like your sister, because nobody knows you better. Can Ava and Sarah make amends after so much hurt and heartbreak between the two?
Ava busies herself with fixing up her beautiful new beach home, so that she can open up the bed and breakfast. Contractor Deacon Cromwell, whom Ava hires to do the renovation, is the man who might thaw Ava's cold heart, if only she'll let him. However, he's almost 20 years her junior and, Ava believes, out of her league. Can Ava overcome her insecurities and allow herself to love again?
In this feel-good beach read with a touch of magic, Ava and her friends and family will become your best friends. Come and share their joys and heartbreaks, their tragedies and triumphs. For fans of Susan Mallery, Jude Devereaux Nantucket Bride series and Elin Hilderbrand!

Story
Lana Fleming’s sister has vanished from the set of TV’s hottest show, and no one seems to care. Desperate for answers, Lana sneaks in as an extra, only to get stranded with Griffin Hart, an A-list action star with a reputation for good abs and bad decisions. Though Griffin didn’t expect to be cast as a librarian’s sidekick in a real-life thriller, he’s weirdly into it—and into her. Even more unsettling—she sees right through his playboy persona. But their meet-cute soon turns deadly when they uncover a Hollywood scandal for the ages.

Story
After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

Story not really about the beach
Monotone voice was monotone and dull. Story really about sisters lives. A human reader might have made the story more interesting.

virtual narration
The virtual reading of this book was horrible! It took so much away from the story and made it hard to continually listen and focus on the story.

Virtual voice 👎🏻
Story was really good but would’ve been much much better with a natural voice with inflection.. there were funny lines but didn’t resonate until after A.I. voice completed line then it was like oh that was funny. I hope this isn’t a new thing for all books.. I won’t continue membership if I don’t enjoy the voice.

Good story! Monotone Delivery!
This was a good story with interesting lines for other character development. The computer generated reading was close to total monotone and very sleep inducing. The lack of inflection in the reading required close attention to the story line. It underscored how much character development happens through expression. With all the voices sounding so closely the same, it was difficulty to distinguish the different characters and they developed almost no personality.
