Last Call at Coconuts by Beth Carter is a story of four bosom friends thrown different curveballs by life. Alex was a bank marketer with a draining relationship and a terrible intern. Then she became unemployed when a robbery and kidnap messed with her mental health. Cheri was a celebrity chef from a dysfunctional family. However, after she and her mother fell on hard times, they faced the reality of the countryside. Suzy struggled with twin babies, a shaky wedding planning business, and a husband with baggage. Life was fairer to Hope, but she got the surprise of her life at her stepdaughter's graduation. The only place the four friends had a respite from their chaotic lives was at Coconuts, a beach-themed and laid-back bar. But a developer wanted to demolish it for other businesses. Can the four friends save this one precious thing? The drama unfolds.

Last Call at Coconuts by Beth Carter was a hilarious, educative and captivating novel with lots of drama. I loved the plot, the lighthearted storyline, and the excellent development. The cast members were also dynamic, and each of the four friends was unique. Beth explored themes like dedication, loyalty, doggedness, family bonds, and great friendship. There were many teachable moments for me in this novel. Life could flip the other way in a second, and we could go from having so much to having so little. So even in plenty, we must pause and appreciate the simple things that make the universe tick. Victoria took it well, and I fell in love with her. Suzy taught me forgiveness and patience. Hope had a big heart, and it was beautiful to see. I liked Alex the least because she emotionally took from her friends while giving little. Yet she also taught me resilience and dedication. This book is the sixth installment and grand finale of the Coconuts series by the talented Beth Carter. Please, keep writing.

The approach to mid-life can be tough, but any woman can get by with a little help from her friends. Just ask Alex, whose life is turned upside down by an attempted robbery at the bank where she works as a vice-president of marketing. Or Cheri, whose mother crashes on her doorstep one evening, announcing that her father has not only had an affair but has lost the family fortune. How about Suzy, nursing twins, who is alarmed by social media posts implying that the lifestyle of her husband's ex-wife and teenage daughter is leading them down a road to nowhere and decides to drive across the county to rescue them? Then there is Hope, who finally found love and a stepdaughter, just to have a stunning revelation at graduation. Life is anything but predictable for these four friends, but they still have each another and Coconuts, their favorite tropical-themed bar. But will they? Changes are creeping in at the bar, transitioning it into a sports-themed hangout, with rumors that the new owner plans to sell the place to a developer. How will these friends cope with the changes in their 40s? Find out in Last Call at Coconuts: Coconuts Series Book 6, by Beth Carter.
