Lillo Gray never thought that instead of attending the wedding of an old
friend, she is instead driving the bride, and two of the bride's friends
home to Lighthouse Beach, in a borrowed VW van. Then again,
discovering the husband-to-be in a delicate situation is a very good
reason for anyone getting cold feet. And, Jessica Parker, the runaway
bride, wasn't even sure about the marriage in the first place... although
her parents think that she is overreacting and she should still marry the
bastard. So, off in the night they go, not telling anyone, especially not
Jessica's parents...
LIGHTHOUSE BEACH really has
one of the best beginnings I've read in a while. I was quite amused
reading about the four women catching the bridegroom with his pants
down. To make the matter worse, a lot of people saw it since he wasn't
being discreet. Jessica, who has been controlled by her parents all her
life, decides at that moment to not go through with the wedding and
leave for Lighthouse Island, with her friends Lillo, Allie, and Diana in
tow.
LIGHTHOUSE BEACH is a perfect
book to read in the summer. I took one look at the cover and just knew I
wanted to read this book, but I do have a weakness for lighthouses! I
must say the story felt a little slow now and then. That's a risk when
there are several characters whose stories are being told and in this
case, do we get four different women who all experience events on the
island that will forever change their lives. Still, the book has its charm. I
really like the little town where everyone knows everyone, and I was
curious to learn Lillo Gray secrets. Something must have happened to
her, to make her leave her old life behind and shut herself away. And,
what about the handsome doctor who seems to have an eye for her?
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.
What was
supposed to be an idyllic wedding leads to an unexpected
journey of self-discovery…
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. She’s not even sure why Jessica
Parker invited her to her posh wedding. They haven’t seen
each other since they were unhappy fourteen-year-old girls
at fat camp. And now they’re from two completely different
worlds. There’s no way Lillo fits in the rarefied circles
Jessica travels in.
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. 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. 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. Once there, she hopes to figure out the
next chapter in her life.
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.
