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.

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!

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!

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