The Weekend Trip

<p><strong>Five old friends. Two new partners. One big problem...</strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>In Erin's beachfront home in Ireland I blink at my former best friends and laugh. Is it awkward we haven't seen each other in ten years and nobody really knows why? <em>Yes.</em> So I pull out the champagne with a flourish and start blasting our old playlist. It's a reunion weekend after all...</p><p> </p><p>But it's not long before my determination to have fun starts to fizzle. Perhaps inviting new partners was a mistake. I'm already exhausted by Becky's new girlfriend and Beth's husband is trying too hard with the compliments. No I'm <em>not </em>trying out a cool silver highlights look. It's a grey hair.</p><p> </p><p>Still at least the others <em>have</em> partners. The most exciting romantic development I can report is a quick flirt with a handsome stranger on the plane over.</p><p> </p><p>Even flighty non-committal Tara is bringing someone. But if that wasn't surprising enough I could never have anticipated Tara's 'someone' would be the man from my flight.</p><p> </p><p>If things weren't already awkward they certainly are now...</p><p> </p><p>The weekend was meant to finally bring us all back together. But will this reunion only push us further apart?</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>A hilarious and uplifting page-turner about the power (and pitfalls) of friendship and romance. Fans of rom-coms by Sophie Kinsella Marian Keyes and Mhairi McFarlane will devour this laugh-out-loud tale.</strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>What readers are saying about Joanna Bolouri:</strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><span style=color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>'</span><strong style=color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>The perfect summer read</strong><span style=color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>... </span><strong style=color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>LOL funny</strong><span style=color: rgba(15 17 17 1)> packed with awkward moments and romance for a cherry on top.
