Three women take the same Eurostar to Paris for a girls' trip, but take separate trains back. What happened that weekend? A thought-provoking and gripping novel about trying to hold on to friendships when you start to grow apart.

Three best friends. A weekend away. And a whole lot of baggage.

Alice, Nina, and Jules have been best friends for twenty years. They met in Paris and return there once a year to relive their youth, leave the troubles of home behind, and indulge in each other's friendship and warmth. But this year, aged thirty-five, the cracks in their relationships are starting to show.

After their weekend together in Paris, the three women never speak again. Each claims the other two ghosted them. But is there more to the story?

'A witty, no-filter glance at the reality of becoming – and remaining – a social media influencer' Louise Hare, author of This Lovely City

About the Author

During Nicole's second maternity leave she began writing poems and rhymes on motherhood and family life, which she posted to her blog 'The Brightness Of These Days'. She completed her first novel during her third maternity leave (because by then it was easier than leaving the house).

Nicole lives in Kent with her husband and three sons. You can find her on Instagram @nicole_k_kennedy and Twitter @nicolekkennedy.
