Sisterhood, safety, and secrets â?? it all happens at the lighthouse on Five Island Cove.
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 motherâ??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 they work together to find the truth, they learn to let go of what doesn't matter and cling to what does: faith, family, and most of all, friendship.… (mehr)

The Lighthouse Five Island Cove, Book 1 by Jessie Newton
This story starts out with the death of one of the group. There are five women who grew up and met and have a pact to come every summer to the islands where they can reconnect with one another.
The death brings them all together. The lives of the women are so varied, single, married with kids, married no kids, etc. their jobs are just as varied. Like the different ages and the problems they go through. People have a lot of secrets from the past and also so much drama.
I did not like being thrown into the mix of things. didn't feel like I belonged there. so confusing as who was who. I think a book of each of them would be in order to keep them all straight then merge the characters in this book.
End comes and there is an excerpt of the next in the series.
Received this review copy from the author and this is my honest opinion. ( )

Kristen’s husband Joel has died. Now, to support the widow, Robin is calling her four best friends back to the island. But Joel is not the man most people believe him to be. As the friends and widow go through the copious papers and writings that Joel left behind, they uncover secrets, hurtful things that Joel has done. It is a story of friendships that endure, but is filled with too much angst. Tears flow like Niagara Falls. The story drags some, and the characters are not well developed, but as the series goes on with several books, their stories and personalities will likely become clearer. Several of the friends are not content or happy with their lives, and everyone is dealing with stress. Not a beach romance read by any stretch of the imagination, and any HEAs will have to wait for another installment. ( )
