A Summer Fling by Milly Johnson


**** 4 Stars
This was a great book about the formation of friendship through a common workplace. Each character was unique and had a wonderful story. I thoroughly enjoyed watching as their friendship grew and their pasts became revealed, as to how they became the people they are now. I really enjoyed Dawn's story and found that it ended the way I had hoped, but took a different route to get there. It took me a few more chapters than normal to be pulled in, but I see that it helped form a wonderful deep story of friendship and the strength that it can give you to make choices you might have feared to conquer on your own.

Book Jacket Summary:
These girls are about to have a summer they'll never forget!
When dynamic Christie blows in like a warm wind to take over their department, five very different women find themselves thrown together at work.....
Anna, 39, is left reeling after her fiance's departure with a younger woman. Can she ever learn to trust again? Then there's Grace, in her fifties, trapped in a loveless marriage with a man she married because she fell for his motherless brood. Can she prevent 33-year old Dawn-orphaned as a teenager and engaged to a love-rat Calum - from making the same mistake she did?
At 28, Raychel would seem to be the happiest, with a loving husband, Ben, and their cosy nest for two. But what dark secrets are lurking behind this perfect facade, that make sweet, pretty Raychel so unwilling to open up?
Under Christie's kindly hand, the girls know they have some difficult choices to make. Indeed, non of them quite realized how much they needed the sense of fun. laughter, and loyalty that abounds when five women become friends.
