Book description
Kate is right in the middle of last-minute marriage preparations. In
just two weeks time, she will be wed to Hugh, a high-flying barrister,
who is perfect for her - well, at least according to her parents. With
the wedding so close, and so many influential friends of Hugh's to
consider, it's no wonder Kate's nerves are a little strung out. And
when Hugh suggests a weekend away, Kate's idea of getting a bit of
peace and quiet is swiftly shattered when she realises they are
heading to the boat belonging to Jonty and Muriel - two of Hugh's most
braying and exuberant friends. But things get ever worse when there is
a terrible surprise waiting for Kate on the boat, in the shape of an
unexpected guest: an artist called Tod, who is a devastatingly painful
blast from Kate's past. He has a stunning new girlfriend in tow, and
Kate is forced to confront the reality of the life she has built for
herself - and the memory of the girl she used to be. Is it too late
for her to discover what she truly wants?
