She needs somewhere private to hide, and the only safe place she can think of is Milly's holiday home business in the Lake District. Milly knows she should tell Nicole no, but she can’t ignore the desperation in her old friend’s voice so, despite her misgivings, she agrees to let Nicole stay. A summer to reconnect. Over a summer of tentative conversations, the two women begin to reconnect, and there’s a potential new romance for Milly too.

Can the friends come together in this time of need, or will this summer break their bond forever?

Thoughts

You know what you’re getting with a Sarah Morgan book - a good cast of characters in a difficult situation and eventually finding some romance along the way. This time we have a celebrity hiding out at home, dealing with old wounds and rekindling old friendships, whilst also having to deal with a pretty big secret. I really enjoyed the book, it’s a nice summer read that you can whizz through relatively easily, and of course it comes to a satisfying ending.
