Review: A Summer Fling – Milly Johnson
When vibrant power-dresser Christie waltzed through the door of a supermarket head office, little did she realize that she was about to change the lives of a group of women who would go on to become great friends – even though they had seldom spoken a word to each other – as they reassess their lives and their priorities.
Anna was left reeling when the man she thought she would spend the rest of her life with, Tony, dumped her for the much younger Lynette. Her heart broken, her self-confidence shattered and her loneliness stifling, Anna cannot help but feel angry, humiliated and betrayed. At thirty-nine years of age, Anna wonders whether she will ever meet anyone whom she will love as much as she loved Tony – or whether all the men in the world would see the dowdy, downtrodden and unattractive woman whom she finds glaring at her every morning in the mirror. Tony’s betrayal had left her reeling, but will the attention of a mysterious stranger manage to penetrate the defenses which she has built around herself and her heart?
At 33, Dawn is busy planning her wedding to Calum. Although she is in love with him and is desperate to begin a future with him, Dawn cannot seem to shake off a niggling voice at the back of her head that is forcing her to question Calum’s commitment and whether she’s about to make the biggest mistake of her life. Will an attentive suitor from an unexpected quarter help her make the right decision?
Grace is in her fifties and her life is a constant whirl of misery, heartbreak and unhappiness. Unable to have children of her own, Grace had married a man not because she loved him or because she had feelings for him, but solely because she had fallen in love with his motherless kids and saw him as her last chance of having the family she always wanted. But has Grace’s dream to be a mother cost her everything?
The youngest member of the group is Raychel who seems to be living the romantic dream: she has a beautiful home and a wonderful husband in Ben. But is her life as perfect as it seems? Or do shocking secrets haunt her cosy idyll?
Free-spirited Christie will force these women to dig deep inside themselves, to make difficult decisions and to have the courage to grab the bull by the horns and to live life to the fullest, but only if they have the courage to let go of their pasts and embrace their futures…
A cracking page-turner bursting with wonderful characterization, laugh-out loud humour, heart-pounding emotional highs, tear-jerking pathos and affecting moments which will tug at your heartstrings, A Summer Fling is another fantastic feel-good blockbuster from this outstanding writer.
In A Summer Fling, Milly Johnson has penned a terrific story about the power of female friendship, triumphing over adversity and new beginnings that tickles the funny bones and touches the heart in equal measures. Although it has many moments that will make you chuckle, A Summer Fling also tackles serious issues which will make readers think and reflect about their own lives and to always scratch beneath the surface of the shiniest veneer.
Milly Johnson continues to raise the bar with every novel she writes and A Summer Fling is another winner which will capture your heart and have you counting the days until Milly Johnson’s next sensational bestseller!
