So Good to See You: A funny and moving novel you won't be able to put down this summer

Francesca Hornak

7 Reviews

Rated 0

Modern & contemporary fiction (post c 1945)

An absorbing, funny and sharply observed novel about friendship, love and the painful process of pretending to have it all.

'The quintessential beach read - if fun, pacey and beautifully written books about complicated friendships are your SPF of choice' PANDORA SYKES, SUNDAY TIMES STYLE

'Fabulously stylish and funny' DAILY MAIL

'Absorbingly astute' HEAT

'Hugely entertaining . . . thought-provoking and touching. I loved it!' REBECCA WAIT

2004. Serge, Rosie and Daniel are enjoying their final weeks of university. They are young, inseparable and full of optimism.

Fifteen years later, they are guests at a lavish four-day wedding in Provence - and no longer friends.

Life has not turned out quite as planned since their heady days at Oxford. Film-maker Serge is winning awards, but hiding a huge debt and a fractured relationship. Behind Rosie's social ease, she is heartbroken. And with Daniel's fame has come spiralling anxiety.

Now, with four days of organised fun ahead, all three are armed with their best conversation and brightest smile. At least everyone is following the same script: do not bring up the past. But as the Champagne flows, appearances slip and true feelings emerge.

Perfect for fans of THE WEDDING PEOPLE, THREE DAYS IN JUNE and BLUE SISTERS, this is a funny, poignant and beautifully observed examination of relationships, class, money and pretending to have it all.
