These five best friends made a Summer Sand Pact as teens and have only kept it once or twice—until they reunite decades later and renew their agreement to meet in Five Island Cove every summer.

Alice Kelton's marriage is in shambles, and while she's always thought she'd stay with her husband, after her last visit to the cove, she went back to the Hamptons and filed for divorce. She and her twins are moving to Rocky Ridge in Five Island Cove permanently, but she's not telling anyone.

Robin's husband is in Alaska for the summer, and she's pretending she's okay.

Eloise comes back to the cove every couple of weeks so she can see her new boyfriend, though she's growing tired of the distance between them.

AJ broke up with her non-committal boyfriend, and she's happier, freer, and open to another relationship, even though she lives in Atlanta.

Kelli brings her son to the cove this time, knowing her relationship with her husband is on the rocks and desperate to fix it. She plans to get some help from her sisterhood during the two weeks in the cove.

When she's followed to the beach house where the other women and their children have gathered, Kelli learns a dangerous secret thirty years in the making that could completely undo all the progress she's made...

Get ready for more secrets to come to light in Five Island Cove, and for these five women to show each other what it means to love and support someone through thick and thin.

Enjoyable read.

I very much enjoyed reading this book. It's perfect for this time of year. Only a few typos, which just make me wonder if no one bothers to proofread anymore. I guess I was raised on flawless spelling and grammar so they always stick out like sore thumbs to me but maybe I'll eventually get used to it? Ever notice how you just don't see that problem in the classics? Maybe I should hire myself out because I'm a literary heat-seeking missile :-) Anyway, it was a terrific story.

The Summer Sand Pact

I read the first one in the series and loved it so picked up the special offer on the second. I wasn't disappointed! Both books are great stories of 5 friends, their love for the islands they grew up on, for each other and their families. A great holiday read. No cliffhangers!

A good read

I would definitely recommend Jessie's Five Island Cove series, I've really enjoyed getting to know all the characters, and The Summer Sand Pact has continued the story of a very special friendship between 5 very different women. I look forward to reading book 3 The Cliffside Inn.

Be True to Yourself

All of the women AJ, Eloise, Robin, Kelli, Staci, Alice, had terrible problems to face and work through that summer but they were afraid to speak and show how they truly felt. Ruth had fears of being alone, Kelli of her husband cheating on her, Alice had to fight to go through a divorce, AJ had the fears she wasn't good enough for anyone except to be used, then dumped, and Eloise being truly loved by Aaron and his girls then trying to figure out if a long-distance relationship would work. The ONLY place they could all speak freely was on the beach at Friendship Inn. This book was about a time of truth, bonding, healing, comfort, trust, and most importantly Love. This was an excellant book and brought many a tear to my eye.
