About this ebook

Summer With My Sister is a fascinating tale of family secrets and hidden rivalries by bestselling author Lucy Diamond.

Polly has always been the high-flyer of the family, with the glamorous city lifestyle to match.

Clare is a single mum with two children, struggling to make ends meet in a ramshackle cottage. The two sisters are poles apart and barely on speaking terms.

But then Polly’s fortunes change unexpectedly and her world comes crashing down. Left penniless and with nowhere else to go, she’s forced back to the village where she and Clare grew up, and the sisters find themselves living together for the first time in years. With an old flame reappearing for Polly, a blossoming new career for Clare and a long-buried family secret in the mix, sparks are sure to fly. Unless the two women have more in common than they first thought?

Ratings and reviews

Purchased the book as it was only 99p and have to say althought it is an easy read, I found it upbeat and light just what I wanted to read after a stressfull week! It was very predictable and cheesy at times but if your looking for a nice relaxing read then this the book.

Great feel-good summer read, once started, you can't put it down!!

Loved the story but found the lack of apostrophes annoying. Shed instead of She'd.
