The Summer Switch-Off

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

A sweet, funny, relatable coming-of-age story from bestselling author Beth Reekles, author of The Kissing Booth.

"There's no better way to celebrate the start of beach season than with a brand-new beach read and if anyone can give us the perfect book for it, it's Beth!" - Cosmopolitan.com

Luna, Rory, and Jodie are supposed to be having the time of their lives, but instead...

Luna thought her first year at uni was perfectβ€”until her relationship ended, and her old school friends seem to be ghosting her...

Rory's true passion is art (and promoting it on her social media), but she wants to fit in with her sensible family, so she's signed up to study law. It feels like the right thing to do, though her heart is saying otherwise...

And as for Jodieβ€”she's put her all into getting top marks at uni, but she can't remember the last time she's let her hair down and had some fun. Her life is great on paper, but she's exhausted and headed for burnout...

In desperate need of an escape, the girls book themselves on a holiday that's meant to be perfect for solo travellers. But the idyllic resort of Casa Dorada is actually a digital detox retreatβ€”which means NO PHONES! And that's not even the biggest disaster waiting for them...

Will it be a summer the girls will never forgetβ€”or one they'd rather not remember?

A sweet, funny, relatable coming-of-age story from bestselling author Beth Reekles, author of The Kissing Boothβ€”perfect for fans of Beth O'Leary and Emily Henry.
