'Thought-provoking and emotional ... had me laughing and crying in equal measure. One for book clubs everywhere' Clare Mackintosh
Four women
Annie has brought her three best friends and their families together for a long weekend away in a gorgeous seaside Airbnb. It should be idyllic - sun, sea, sand, cocktails and laughter.
One shocking secret
But below the surface, none of these friendships are quite what they seem. And Annie has a secret - and an earth-shattering favour to ask of one of her friends.
A life-changing decision
As the idyllic weekend turns sour - arguments, grudges and a boat trip that goes awry - Annie must make her devastating decision - and change everyone's lives, forever.
In this upcoming literary fiction, Hannah Begbie weaves a humorous yet top-notch story that will keep you on the edge of your seat. The latest from her, The Last Weekend, is a tale of family holidays that turn into a life-altering event.
For fans of Catherine Steadman (Look in the Mirror), Sarah Easter Collins (Things Don't Break On Their Own), Meg Clothier (The Book of Eve), Jojo Moyes (The Giver of Stars), and Alice Winn (In Memoriam).
