It was meant to be the party of the summer

In Cedar Road, everyone is preparing for Lexis White Hot summer party. For one night, parking squabbles and petitions are put aside as neighbours sip Prosecco under the fairy lights and gather by the hot tub to marvel at Lexis effortlessly glamorous life with Hot Hamish.

For Julia, its a chance to coax husband Charlie out of his potting shed and into a shirt so they can have a welcome break from the hellish house renovation theyve been wrestling with. And its a chance for Julia to pretend just for a night that her life is as perfect as Lexis.

But when, during the party, one of Julias WhatsApp messages falls into the wrong hands and reveals her most intimate thoughts, things reach boiling point

And when all the neighbours know exactly what youre thinking, theres only one thing to do.

Run away.

Its going to be a summer Julia will never forget

Warm, funny, and feel-good, The Summer We Ran Away is the ideal uplifting read for fans of Veronica Henry, Milly Johnson, and Carole Matthews.

Author Bio

Jenny Oliver wrote her first book on holiday when she was ten years old. Illustrated with cut-out supermodels from her sister's Vogue, it was an epic, sweeping love story not so loosely based Dynasty. Since then Jenny has gone on to get an English degree and a job in publishing that's taught her what it takes to write a novel (without the help of the supermodels).
