Except this year, they are lying through their teeth, because Harriet and Wyn broke up six months ago. And they still haven't told anyone.

In “Emily’s Grocery List,” Henry’s newsletter, she wrote: “With January, I worried she’d be too emotional for readers. With Poppy, I worried she’d be too annoying. With Nora, I worried she’d be too sharp. With Harriet, I worried she’d be too spineless.”

But the cottage is for sale so this is the last time they'll all be here together. They can't bear to break their best friends' hearts so they'll fake it for one more week. But how can you pretend to be in love - and get away with it - in front of the people who know you best?

Hobbies

Every year, they take a holiday from their lives to drink far too much wine with their favourite people in the world. Despite these issues, Henry’s skill at creating compelling, complex characters shines through. This is the first book that Henry has written with such a sprawling ensemble cast, and she is a master at teasing out the tensions between characters. Though some of her characters — such as Parth and Kimmy, the partners of Harriet’s two best friends — feel a little underdeveloped (which is understandable given the number of balls that Henry juggles in this book), the ensemble cast is gloriously messy and perfectly shows the pains of growing up and growing apart.
