The Friendship Beach series by Ciara Knight takes place on a sunny coastal island and focuses on the bonds between women who find themselves drawn to the same community. It starts with Summer Island Book Club (2021), followed by Summer Island Sisters (2021), Summer Island Hope (2022), and Summer Island Romance (2022). The four books were published over the span of about a year.
Each installment features a new main character but shares the same island setting and supporting cast. The stories mix friendship, second chances, and romance without any explicit content. Knight has a talent for creating cozy, relaxed settings, and this series is a good example of that. If you like beach reads with heart and low-key pacing, Friendship Beach is a solid pick.
