Book Description
One perfect villa, four old friends, and a holiday that will change everything...
Amy, Linda, Kate and Jane were best friends at school. Now, years later, they have grown apart. When Amy discovers her husband has been stealing from her successful interiors business, and with a milestone birthday looming, she decides it is the time to reach out to her old friends once again.
So, she decides to invite the other three to her beautiful villa in Mallorca for a reunion weekend. As the four friends gather, secrets are unearthed, old scores settled and new friendships forged. Will this holiday bring them together or tear them apart? And will each of them grasp their second chance for happiness...?
My Review
This is a fantastic summer read that will have you hooked in from the first page to the last.
Amy is shocked to find out that over £200,000 is missing from her very successful business, she is then further shocked by finding out it was her husband that took the money so he can set up his business with the woman he has been having an affair with.
Amy is unsure how to process all of this and decides on a plan to take a holiday in their villa in Mallorca. She decides to invite three of her friends that she has become distant with after they were all friends at school, that way she can finally put to rest the incident from her school days that have haunted her for years.
The three friends Linda, Kate and Jane are all shocked to be invited but they do all reluctantly decide to go and spend the week in Mallorca with Amy.
The foursome arrive on the island and start to enjoy the sunshine, although it doesn't take time for the secrets to come out and there chilled out week does not go to plan as Amy would have liked, however for her this holiday is all about finding out what happened forty years ago when Amy got expelled from school for something that wasn't her fault.
I really enjoyed this book the setting for this was idyllic and the perfect summer read.
I enjoyed getting to know all of the characters, the story does mainly focus on Amy, but you do also see that the lives of her friends are not all they should be either and that they are all focusing on the different issues they all have too.
This is the first book I have read by Fanny Blake but it will definitely not be the last.
