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.

From the Back Cover
When a group of friends reunite in the idyllic beach town where they grew up, they must reevaluate their loyalty to one another or lose their friendship forever
Twelve years ago, Vanessa "Van" Moran fell in love and lost her virginity—but not to the same boy. She fled Whisper Beach desperate and pregnant, never telling a soul about her secret. Now a professional Manhattan organizer, she must return home for the first time to attend the funeral of her best friend's husband. Van intends to only stay for a weekend, but her plans fall by the wayside as the troubles of this coastal town draw her in.
Dorie, the owner of the pier's infamous Blue Crab Restaurant where Van and her friends worked as teenagers, enlists Van's help to save the nearly bankrupt eatery. While Van throws herself into this new task, the man she once loved reenters her life, willing to pick up where they left off.
As the restaurant begins to thrive and Van reconnects with old friends, trouble comes from an unexpected source and she realizes she must face the decisions of her past or sacrifice this new life she has so carefully built.
For Van, this summer will test the meaning of friendship and trust—and how far love can bend before it breaks.

After all the good reviews I thought I would give this a try By SunshineHorses After all the good reviews I thought I would give this a try, but it had to be one of the worst books I have ever read - and I read a lot of books. After slogging through the first half of the book, I actually ended up skipping 40% of the book to read the last 10% and see what happened. This book just didn't move. It wasn't a love story, it was all about emotions - good, bad, indifferent, etc. To top it off, there was NO conclusion. You are left totally hanging at the end of the book. WARNING STORY CONCLUSION: Joe wants kids - his kids, but he wants Van. Van "might" expand back to Whisper Beach. AND THAT IS WHERE THE STORY ENDS ????? GIve me a break.

Will there be other books about Van and Joe. Or Suze and Jerry, what happens to Dana .. I am just frustrated by this whole book..
14 of 16 people found the following review helpful. A Timeless Question: Can You Go Home Again? This time it's Van's turn to answer the question. What will she decide?. By Corduroy Ever since the publication of Thomas Wolfe's novel, "You Can't Go Home Again" the title as a phrase is well-known across the generations even if the individual has never read the novel and knows nothing but the title. "Whisper Beach" provides a twist to become the question, "Can Vanessa `Van' Moran go home again?" A reader quickly becomes engrossed in wonder of all the possibilities as it is learned that Van left her hometown of Whisper Beach without goodbyes 12 years ago and some people think she might even be dead. Van's cousin Gigi gave her all the money she had saved for nursing school as Van left town but Gigi doesn't know the true reason Van was so desperate to leave. There's only 1 girlfriend that knows the truth. As Van returns for the funeral of her cousin's husband Clay Daly, the plan is simple, attend the funeral, stay a few days for Gigi, perhaps put the old beach cottage that has been passed down through the female generations of her family up for sale, and then enjoy some vacation time as reserved at the 4-star hotel and spa in Rehoboth Beach. Simple. Organized. Planned. Life as Van prefers and has created with the success of her own business, Elite Lifestyle Managers, in New York.I loved this book! "Can you go home again?" A timeless question and this novel reveals the possibilities with thoughtfulness as each relationship that touches Van's life is explored. The character descriptions are revealed at perfect pace as various encounters begin on Van's return to Whisper Beach. Van seems not the only one to have secrets.One of the aspects about this novel that I loved the most was the exploration of the human character. How we sometimes presume we know what we know about family and friends when we really know nothing at all about what another has gone through because we haven't walked all the miles alongside them - we've only been with them for pieces of their life journey. How we sometimes are judgmental with the best of intentions but again without all the facts. When we reveal the secrets of our lives to one another and the truth brings not the judgment as anticipated, not the criticism as feared, but we are given acceptance, understanding, and love.I'm sure this novel will bring lively discussion at book club meetings. But, I'm hoping the novel will also be discovered by readers that might not necessarily be interested in book club participation but that would benefit by a little self-introspection before taking the next steps on their own life journey. It is a story that might also offer encouragement, courage and hope to someone wondering if it's time to unburden their heart and share their secret.The cover art is beautiful in its simplicity and seems to invite each reader individually to the beach and to reminisce of their own past summer experiences at the beach. The cover art then changes to a slightly different scene but as a pen and ink drawing to open each chapter. The author gives credit to The William Morrow Art Department in the acknowledgments and I effusively concur. Simple. Picturesque. Welcoming.I can't wait to read more of this author's novels.I was lucky enough to receive a copy of this title as an "Early Reviewer" from Library Thing.
