Samenvatting:

A luscious summer novel about friends, lovers, and friends’ lovers

‘Five friends, one cabin in the forest and a whole load of tension’ Vogue

‘Sun-soaked…playful and sensual’ Dazed

Five friends from university; seven summer days in a lakeside cabin in Denmark. A chance to swim, sunbathe, flirt, read and recreate the magic of their youth.

At least that’s what Sylvia had hoped. But then her friends arrive with real jobs, kids and partners. Worse, Esben (her decades-long crush) and Karen announce their plan to get married at the end of the week. As desire and anxiety swirl, and the wedding day approaches, will the group achieve their arcadian dreams or will everything come tumbling down?
