It was meant to be the party of the summerâŠ
In Cedar Road, everyone is preparing for Lexiâs âWhite Hotâ 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 Lexiâs effortlessly glamorous life with Hot Hamish.
For Julia, itâs 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 theyâve been wrestling with. And itâs a chance for Julia to pretend â just for a night â that her life is as perfect as Lexiâs.
But when, during the party, one of Juliaâs WhatsApp messages falls into the wrong hands and reveals her most intimate thoughts, things reach boiling pointâŠ
And when all the neighbours know exactly what youâre thinking, thereâs only one thing to do.
Run away.
Itâs going to be a summer Julia will never forgetâŠ
Warm, funny, and feel-good, is the ideal uplifting read for fans of Veronica Henry, Milly Johnson, and Carole Matthews.The Summer We Ran Away
