'Beautifully romantic and so uplifting' DINAH JEFFERIES
What if your life worked out perfectly . . . for someone else?
It's been 18 years since Ava spent the summer on the Greek island of Corfu, but she has never forgotten what happened during those months - or who she left behind.
Now single, estranged from her family, and preparing to wave her daughter off to university, Ava's life seems a million miles away from the one she dreamed about as a teenager - a life now being lived by her sister instead.
When Ava decides to return to Corfu for the summer, she knows she must finally face the place and the people that broke her heart. But with old resentments festering, long-buried secrets lurking, and familiar feelings resurfacing, it looks set to be a holiday that will change all their lives forever. . .

Klappentext
Since returning from a life-changing summer in Greece 18 years ago, everything Ava has done has been for her daughter, Rosie. Now, Ava feels trapped in a life that is the opposite to the one she wanted for herself. In fact, she would do anything to have ended up like . . .
Nina, the middle sister in the family, who has always felt it's up to her to be dependable and sensible. The only rebellious thing Nina has ever done is move to Corfu. While her days are filled with sun, sea and simple pleasures, Nina finds island life suffocating. What she craves most is freedom and adventure. But that life already belongs to . . .
Ophelia. The baby of the family, Lia (as she prefers to be called) has never been able to settle anywhere and decided long ago that running away from her problems was far easier than staying to confront them. Yet secretly what Ophelia wants most of all is to create a life she doesn't want to escape, just as her big sister Ava did all those years ago . . .
But this summer things are changing, when the sisters decide to swap lives. Is the grass really greener . . . or will they realise that losing what they already have comes at a price?
