After a disastrous first meeting, Cassie and Marc become arch nemeses. He might have great cheekbones and a sexy French accent but he’s a terrible person who did a terrible thing. Too bad that Cassie’s best friends Lucy and Russell think he’s wonderful.

But years later, when an unexpected tragedy strikes their friendship group, Cassie and Marc team up to give Lucy and Russell the best weekend ever so they can make new memories with all of their favourite people. Which means convincing everyone that Cassie and Marc are head over heels in love.

After hating him for so long, it takes four bittersweet days for Cassie to wonder if she got Marc all wrong. Can they let go of their troubled past and together, face whatever the future is going to throw at them?

Reviews

Cressida McLaughlin
A deeply heartfelt, completely unforgettable book with characters that I fell in love with and a romance that held me captive. I laughed out loud, cried until I was a husk and finished it feeling refreshed, renewed, and looking at life a little bit differently. It's a summer I never wanted to end
Lindsey Kelk
Sarra Manning is your favourite writer's favourite writer. The Last Days of Summer is her best book yet, combining captivating characters with the most beautiful story that will pull at your heartstrings from the very first page. By turns fun, sexy, bittersweet and utterly romantic, I fell head over heels for Cassie and Marc (cheekbones, accent and all) and their captivating, page-turning love story. Add this to your TBR ASAP
Marian Keyes
One of my favourite writers . . . It's about friendship, it's about life, it's about how people change . . . I loved it very much
Lauren Bravo
This was the most delicious blast of heat to warm up the bleak midwinter. Expertly crafted, extremely loveable and a perfect balance of wit, heart and smut
Beth O'Leary
I am a big Sarra Manning fan. The Last Days of Summer is funny, filled with emotion and very, very sexy! Add it to your 2025 TBR pile immediately . . .
Laura Wood
A big, swoony, knockout of a book. It's a joyful slice of escapism that will also destroy you emotionally. I laughed, I cried, I felt all my feelings, and now I need to listen to the ten minute version of 'All Too Well' in a dark room. I'll read anything Sarra Manning writes, but this is her at the top of her game.
