They’re old enough to have endured some disappointments but young enough to have retained some optimism for the future. My take: Lighthouse Beach is about the friendship of 4 women in their early 30s.

Nursing broken hearts and broken dreams, four lost women embark on a journey to find their way back into happiness with new love, friendship, and the healing power of Lighthouse Beach. Once there, she hopes to figure out the next chapter in her life. In a rush to escape her crumbling life, Jess, Allie, and Diana pile into Lillo’s beat-up old van and head up the coast to Lighthouse Island. But when she and her two closest friends, Allie and Diana, along with Lillo, discover her fiancé with his pants down in the hotel parking lot, she’s humiliated…and slightly relieved. Jess isn’t sure she’s ready to go through with this wedding, but she’s been too busy making everyone else happy to think about what she wants. There’s no way Lillo fits in the rarefied circles Jessica travels in. And now they’re from two completely different worlds. They haven’t seen each other since they were unhappy fourteen-year-old girls at fat camp. She’s not even sure why Jessica Parker invited her to her posh wedding.

When Lillo Gray pulls up to Kennebunkport’s most exclusive hotel wearing a borrowed dress and driving a borrowed VW van, she knows she’s made a big mistake. What was supposed to be an idyllic wedding leads to an unexpected journey of self-discovery… a place that can lead you home.From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Shelley Noble comes a heartrending and uplifting novel about friendship, love, and what we’re willing to sacrifice for our dreams.
