"Gorgeous inside and out" The BookActivist



      A gorgeously dreamy coming-of-age romance set against
      a stunning Gatsby-esque backdrop.
      Growing up in her sleepy Cornish village dreaming of being a writer,
      sixteen-year-old Lou has always wondered about the grand Cardew
      house which has stood empty for years.


      And when the owners arrive for the summer - a handsome, dashing
      brother and sister - Lou is quite swept off her feet
      and into a world of moonlit cocktail parties and glamour beyond
      her wildest dreams.


      But, as she grows closer to the Cardews, is she abandoning her
      own ambitions... and is there something darker lurking at the heart
      of the Cardew family?
