Four 17-year-old friends drive across France in what should be the holiday of a lifetime. But Sasha feels as if her dad's wedding will be the end of her relationship with him; Cam is reeling from being rejected by her birth grandparents; Hetal is doing badly in school for the first time; and Nell's in love and afraid she'll lose Tom if she's away too long. They need to rekindle their friendship. They need a road trip to end all road trips. They need a summer under the stars. In the sequel to the much-loved Summer of No Regrets, the four friends drive across France, each hiding a secret. They get lost, fall out and rescue a kitten, but will they get to Sasha's dad's wedding in time? The four girls face first love, being fostered and insecurity in this feel-good, heartfelt novel. In particular, Hetal's battle with perfectionism and her eventual realization that she is good enough.
