It should be the perfect trip. But all three girls are bringing along more than their luggage. While Rachel looks forward to her wedding day with excitement, Carrie Ann wonders why the pain of her abusive marriage didn’t end when the decree nisi arrived and Yaslyn considers the possibility that she might never be ready to marry her patient boyfriend Euan. Add unlimited free cocktails, rampant reps and a nasty dose of sunstroke and suddenly getting away from it all comes dangerously close to going back to nothing . Can three firm friendships survive just seven sunny days?
Inspiration for Seven Sunny Days
Seven Sunny Days was inspired by a trip I took to Bodrum in Turkey with my college friend Jane. The foam party at a nightclub was a definite highlight, though Jane lost one of her shoes.
