Description

'A tale of friendship, love, loss made me laugh and cry in equal measure' Charlotte PhilbyFriendship never ends

Four women

Annie has brought her three best friends and their families together for a long weekend away in a gorgeous seaside Airbnb. It should be idyllic sun, sea, sand, cocktails and laughter.

One shocking secret

But below the surface, none of these friendships are quite what they seem. And Annie has a secret and an earth-shattering favour to ask of one of her friends.

A life-changing decision

As the idyllic weekend turns sour arguments, grudges and a boat trip that goes awry Annie must make her devastating decision and change everyones lives, forever.
