This is the story of one family, one dreamy summer – the summer when everything changes.

In a holiday house by the sea, in a big, messy family, one teenager watches as brothers and sisters, parents and older cousins fill hot days with wine and games and planning a wedding.

Enter the Goddens – irresistible, charming, languidly sexy Kit and surly, silent Hugo. Suddenly there's a serpent in this paradise – and the consequences will be devastating.

From bestselling, award-winning author Meg Rosoff comes a lyrical and quintessential coming-of-age tale – a summer book that's as heady, timeless and irresistible as Bonjour Tristesse and I Capture the Castle but as sharp and fresh as Normal People.

“A wonderful, captivating writer”
– Daily Telegraph

“Meg Rosoff has the gift of being able to talk to the reader with a directness that goes like an arrow to the heart”
– The Times

“No one writes the way Rosoff does – as if she's thrown away the rules. I love her fizzy honesty, her pluck, her way of untangling emotion through words”
– Daily Telegraph

“It is only occasionally that a writer comes along with a voice so stridently pure and direct and funny that you simply can't question it - you tumble willingly into its thrall”
– Julie Myerson, Guardian
