Product Description
New York Times bestselling author Nancy Thayer delighted readers with her sparkling Hot Flash Club series. Now she has written a vibrant new novel set within a tight-knit island community, where two women struggle to rekindle a childhood friendship damaged by harsh words, betrayal, and the passing years.
Lexi Laney and Clare Hart grew up together swimming in the surf, riding remote bike trails, and having wondrous adventures across picturesque Nantucket. And when it was time to share intimate secrets and let their girlish imaginations run free, they escaped to their magical private hideaway: Moon Shell Beach.
But nothing stays the same. With the complicated pressures of adulthood, their intense bond is frayed, hurtful words are exchanged, and Lexi flees Nantucket to a life of luxury while Clare stays behind.
Ten years later, a newly divorced Lexi returns to make amends with those she left in her wake. Living at home with her father and dating a gorgeous carpenter, Clare still simmers with resentment toward her glamorous friend. And when Lexi opens an upscale clothing boutique next door to Clare?s chocolate shop, their paths are fated to cross.
Their emotional reunion is beset with major challenges: Lexi?s return sets off a series of startling events that fracture the status quo and set the town gossips? tongues wagging. And as Clare?s life takes an abrupt detour, Lexi wonders if the happiness and peace they once knew on Moon Shell Beach will, in the end, prove to be as fleeting as time and the tide. In the turbulent adult world, awash in failed loves and romantic disappointment, can childhood dreams still come true?
Irresistible reading, Moon Shell Beach explores the evolution of a tumultuous lifelong friendship, the power of forgiveness, and the rewards of believing in miracles.

 Worth reading November 16, 2008
I really enjoyed this book, so much so that I would think about when I wasn't reading it. It is an easy read that is enjoyable and has you wondering about the characters and their futures!
 Moon Shell Beach September 8, 2008
Moon Shell Beach by Nancy Thayer is a delightful book about good friends from children to adults. Nancy Thayer paints an exquiste back drop for the escapes of the two girls in this book. Book fun and easy to read. I really enjoyed this book and looking forward to reading more books by Nancy Thayer.
Moon Shell Beach=great read September 8, 2008
I'm not sure why there are so many negative reviews about this book. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. The ending left me wanting more and I would love it if there were a follow up. I would say give it a chance and you might just really enjoy it too.
Moon Shell Beach August 16, 2008
This was a book I was following in a monthly women's magazine. I liked it so well I decided to buy the book to be able to finish it faster then waiting for it to come every month in the magazine. It was an easy read. I didn't put it down until I finished it.

I have been waiting for another book in the Hot Flash series and so I was disappointed that Moon Shell Beach was not going to be another Hot Flash characters book. I understand Nancy Thayer wanted to write something different. Yes, I did cry at the ending and the book did hold my interest. It's really just a light reading bit of fluff chick lit type of book. I think some of the reviews here are a bit harsh but it is not the authors best work by any means.
