Full of warmth and heart, Brave New Summer is a joyful and uplifting novel about friendship, romance and being brave.
An escape to Cornwall, even if only in the written sense, was on the cards in the recent UK heatwave and this book did not disappoint. Sarah Morgan writes so beautifully that you can almost feel the Cornish breeze even on the hottest days, the welcome coolness of the sea and the heady heights of the cliff tops and golden sands of the beaches. Brave New Summer delivered everything I expected from Sarah’s writing, and perhaps even a little more with that mystery twist added in…
Abby & Evie, the main characters, felt very relatable and it was so easy to connect with them whilst reading. The story-line was fresh, as always with Sarah’s books, and no easy feat after publishing eighty of them I expect, but even so, she did it!
This is a brilliant Summer read but also a great ‘all seasons’ title to dive into. It has just the right amount of light relief – with added complexities, a dash of romance and a bit of mystery. Just perfect.
About the Book
Evie is the acting general manager of The Alexandra hotel in picturesque Cornwall, but she feels trapped in a life defined by others’ expectations. Just as she contemplates a fresh start, Abby arrives, sent undercover by the hotel’s owner to assess the staff and operations. But Abby is navigating her own struggles and longs to break free from the shadow of her mother.
As the two women forge an unexpected friendship, they confront their fears and the threat of change looming over them. With the help of a charming chef and a gruff pub owner, they begin to embrace their true selves and the bonds that unite them. Will they find the strength to reshape their futures, or will the weight of the past hold them back?
