Whisper Beach

A Novel

De: Shelley Noble

Narrado por: Marni Penning

From the New York Times bestselling author of Beach Colors and Breakwater Bay comes this unforgettable story—reminiscent of Kristin Hannah’s beloved novels—of friends, loyalty, and love as three women who are reunited in the idyllic beach town where they grew up are forced to re-evaluate their bonds.

Fifteen years ago, seventeen-year-old Vanessa Moran fell in love and lost her virginity but not to the same boy. Pregnant, desperate, and humiliated, she fled friends and family and Whisper Beach, New Jersey, never breathing a word about her secret to anyone. She hasn’t been back since. Now a professional Manhattan organizer, she returns to the funeral of her best friend’s husband. She intends on just paying her respects and leaving—though she can’t deny she also wants the town to see how far she’s come as a successful business woman. But her plans to make this a short visit fall by the wayside when her girlfriends have other ideas.

Dorie, the owner of the pier’s Blue Crab Restaurant where Van and her friends worked as teenagers, needs help. Dorie’s roving husband spends every penny they make and now their restaurant is failing.

Joe, the boy Van left behind without an explanation, has never stopped loving her. While he’s wary of getting hurt again, he also can’t help wondering what would happen if they took up where they left off.

As the summer progresses and the restaurant takes on a new look, trouble comes from unexpected sources. For Van, this summer will test the meaning of friendship and trust—and how far love can bend before it breaks.

Unhappy

I like the story, but it didn't ending. No epilogue. I want to see what happens.

Good Listen

The store was good no sex screen which was refreshing,very well read is there a next book?

Terrible Narrator!

Narrator does awful voices. The widow sounds like a child. And most of the other female characters sound like 70 year old smokers & bourbon drinkers from a retirement home. The stupid nicknames were annoying. And nothing much happened in the book.

Good story

Enjoyed the story representing how love and devotion of friends and family can prevail.

More than your average Brach read

I liked the interwoven characters that play on both the past and present while weaving a new storyline.
