The Bicycle Book Club

Tessa Simmons has just taken a job as the Assistant Director at the library in the cove, and she’s been charged with all of the adult programming. Her ideas are big, and she brings in her new friends for focus groups to truly expand the reach of literature in the cove.

Robin and AJ have ideas and plenty of opinions, as do all of the other women. They don’t always line up, and some voices are louder than others. But as Eloise has taken a step back to spend more time with her family, she becomes instrumental in helping Tessa establish smaller library branches on all five islands in the cove.

Kelli is busy with her yoga studio and her job as a new mother, but she also brings the idea of more books and better literature to both Pearl and Bell Island. Jean suggests a “lighthouse little library,” and Tessa takes in all the ideas, trying to find the right things that will reach everyone from 18 to 80.

Robin’s daughter and Alice then come up with a brilliant idea to unite generations throughout the cove: a bicycle book club. Maddy, Julia, and Clara quickly jump on the idea, and it takes shape like nothing else has.

Then Tessa decides to look into the past to help shape the future, what she finds in the Five Island Cove library archives could bring them closer together…or splinter them forever. 

Escape to the beach this summer with your new best friends! Join the women in Five Island Cove as they navigate friendships old and new, romantic relationships past and present, and bring new ideas that could last generations to the quaint island town you’ll want to visit over and over again!
