Second chances do exist.

Five former sorority sisters, all in their 50s, undertake the adventure of a lifetime when a mysterious invite reunites them at an exclusive resort set on a private island.

Olivia was the quiet one. Her divorce from her alcoholic husband freed her in many ways but caused a rift with her daughter that seems impossible to heal.

Amanda was the perfect one. Widowed and desperately broke but hiding it, she needs a new start more than anyone can imagine.

Leigh Ann was the cheerleader. Her ongoing divorce is completely amicable, or so she’d like everyone to believe. The truth isn’t quite as rosy.

Grace was the party girl. And she still is, much to the dismay of her husband, who’s struggling to keep their restaurant afloat. Grace hopes her time away will give them both the space she thinks they need.

Katie was the brains. Now she’s incredibly successful but hiding secrets that could change her life if they were to get out.

When their beloved house mother invites them on an all-expenses-paid vacation, then drops a huge surprise on them, the five friends face a major decision. Can they overcome their pasts in order to take advantage of the amazing future being offered?

Take the journey to Compass Key with them and find out.

Too many voices, but great story!

I was excited when I bought this - I thought each voice would be a character, but just having them read different chapters is not relaxing- you just get used to one voice then another comes on, my own personal opinion- I hate it, I would not buy another book like this - but the storyline itself is great, I really liked it, I would read the book instead, too many narrators that aren’t characters feels confusing, but that’s just me. 😊

Wonderful book…great introduction to the 5 main characters

Such a great story…building the story line for the series…can’t wait to read the rest

Great book

I loved the way the author brought real life struggles in from different perspectives. I really enjoyed all the readers as well

Just finished

I enjoyed the audio book. I will download the second book in the series. Nice clean storyline!

Friends,Family and Love

Enjoyed the unfolding of this story about old friends, new love, and the complications of family. Good character development made me vested! Nice feel good story without the extra syrup.

Loved this book!

Great escape type read. Positive message for a second chance at life. Looking forward to the next book in this series

Entertaining listen

Fun characters get developed in the beach read. I was always ready to find out all their back stories.

Horrific narration

Cute story but the narrators ruined the story. Difficult to listen to because of poor narration. The intense breathing by Grace’s narrator was the worst! Who can listen to what was being said when you can only hear someone’s loud, dyspneic breathing?!?

Loved this book!

I’ve recently discovered Maggie Miller and so glad I did. I liked the premise of this book. I also happen to live in Canton, Ohio! Fun to read about a character so familiar.

great story

I'm not a 20 something. it's sometimes hard to find good books for my age. I loved this one. on top book 2!
