A Summer Fling

Written by Milly Johnson

Narrated by Colleen Prendergast

A heartwarming and hilarious novel from the Sunday Times bestselling author 

When five women become friends, it's one for all, and all for one!

When dynamic, power-dressing Christie blows in like a warm wind to take over their department, five very different women find themselves thrown together at work. But none of them could have predicted the fierce bond of friendship that her leadership would inspire ...

Anna, 39, is reeling from the loss of her fiancé, who ran off with a much younger woman. Her pride in tatters, these days Anna finds it difficult to leave the house. So when a handsome, mysterious stranger takes an interest in her, she's not sure whether she can learn to trust again? Then there's Grace, in her fifties, trapped in a loveless marriage with a man she married because, unable to have children of her own, she fell in love with his motherless brood. Grace worries that Dawn is about to make the same mistake: orphaned as a child, engaged to love-rat Calum, is Dawn more interested in the security that comes with his tight-knit, boisterous family? When a sexy, footloose rock singer catches her eye, will Dawn have the courage to follow her heart?

At 28, Raychel is the youngest member of their little gang. And with a loving husband, Ben, and a cosy little nest for two, she would seem to be the happiest. But what dark secrets are lurking behind this perfect facade, that make sweet, pretty Raychel so guarded and unwilling to open up?

[Sinead Belfon · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

I’m put off by use of the word nigger, and blackie who adds such words to a book disgusting absolutely shocking. Throughout the entire book profanity and crass language tell me your not black without telling me. And this has high ratings? All just a disgusting

[Alma Quillian · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I love Milly's stories! This is the 4th I have read. I have noticed a common theme..women coming into their own,overcoming past ,often tragic, hurts and supported in their search for themselves and happiness through friendship. But each story is told in a unique way with likeable heroines and dastardly villains.
In these troubled times it is wonderful to escape into the world of Milly Johnson.

A funny, heart warming story, a feel good story with humour!

[Lasya Botes · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

The characters are so real. This book wasn’t as funny as some of Milly’s other books, but it contained the realities we have to deal with so often. I love that the fairytale snuck in at the end and everything ended so beautifully. Character development was brilliant and the humorous and very suitable surnames of characters added an additional dash of artistic license.

[Jade Campion · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Whilst having so many characters involved in the stories it was a great read. I referred back to the book discrimination quite a few times to clearfy Rachel,Grace and Christie's roles and character journeys which helped avoid confusion. I especially loved Dawns story.

Mills Johnson! Thank you so much! Firstly, listening to the characters in your audiobooks help me to realize that maybe I am not so crazy. When I hear your characters have the same back-and-forth thoughts that I have found myself growing going through in relationships, it’s very validating. And it allows me to recognize those unhealthy thoughts as they occur in the present! who knew that romantic comedy is also very empowering and good for self improvement. Of course it’s good for my mental health and that I can just take a complete break from my life and everything that’s going around and relax and enjoy a very well written story. ?????
