Other People’s Summers

De: Sarah Morgan

Narrado por: Henrietta Meire

A famous actress whose life is unraveling flees to an idyllic English lakeside resort and the best friend she ghosted in this poignant and witty story from the USA TODAY bestselling author of The Book Club Hotel.

In school, Milly Beckett and Nicole Raven were as close as sisters. Now, years later, a gulf separates them, and not just because of the different spheres they inhabit. Nicole is a global superstar with the world at her fingertips, but when scandal breaks, she turns to the only person she trusts.

Fresh from a painful divorce and struggling to balance her work and raising her daughter alone, Milly is tempted to refuse her friend’s plea for help. Nicole wasn’t there for her when she needed her most, and that’s hard to forgive. But Nicole is desperate and Milly agrees to give her the sanctuary she needs.

Against a stunning Lake District backdrop, stilted small talk gradually gives way to soul-deep revelations as the two women slowly find their way back to one another. Living with Milly gives Nicole a glimpse of a different path for herself, and Milly starts to see a life beyond her divorce, including the possibility of a new romance. But Nicole can’t stay hidden forever—and neither can the secret she’s been keeping from Milly, a secret that threatens both her future happiness and the fragile bond between them.

Delightful

This story is a great telling of friendship and family.
I really enjoyed this book as I enjoy Sarah Morgan’s books.

Slow Mover

I stuck it out, but I didn’t love this book. It didn’t go anywhere fast and the narrator hurt my ears. Her voice is so high pitched and at times, really seemed to over perform. The story moved along so slowly, it was hard to get invested in the characters.

Enjoyable

Very enjoyable story. About friendship and when things go wrong. About being a parent and grandparent. About divorce and what comes next. Lots of things really told in a very enjoyable way in a scenic setting. There were moments of drama and moments of humour that had me laughing. I enjoyed the audiobook version.
