Jollies

By Dave Spence

Ditch the shades and chase the sun.

It's spring, 1985 and Nick's heart is in pieces. His ex has moved away, college is looming and his childhood gang is about to scatter for good. Before adulthood ruins everything, his best mate Heff suggests one last epic summer of freedom. A lads' summer holiday, the full package... sun, sea, sand, sex and stupidity

What begins as a chaotic pre-holiday farewell tour spirals into a hilarious ride of misadventure. When Nick's birthday bash goes spectacularly sideways, an afterparty invitation no one would refuse, lands him in seriously hot water

In search of memories to last a lifetime, Nick and the gang embark on a sun-soaked odyssey to Greece... the birthplace of hedonism. On Corfu's wild, lawless shores, they join thousands of pleasure-seekers chasing freedom, fun and uncomplicated flings. But things get complicated for Nick when his past catches up with him and he finds himself in hot water... again.

Sometimes growing up isn't about saying goodbye... it's about finding the courage to stay.

The wildest, funniest last summer of youth, ever

'Heart. Heat. Hilarity.' Jollies is the perfect holiday read... a laugh-out-loud, feel-good 'throwback with heart', packed with friendship, 1980s nostalgia and a little romance.

For anyone who's ever loved, lost, or wished for one last summer of youth, this hilarious British coming-of-age comedy proves that sometimes the best memories - and the happiest endings - are the ones you never see coming.

Perfect romcom adventure for fans of Nick Hornby, David Nicholls, John Hughes and The Inbetweeners - with an eighties mixtape side.
