Just for the summer...</i> <p/>Birdy has made a mistake. Everyone imagines running away from their life at some point. But Birdy has actually done it. And the life she's run into is her best friend Heather's. The only problem is, she hasn't told Heather. <p/>The summer job at the highland Scottish hotel that her world class wine-expert friend ditched turns out to be a lot more than Birdy bargained for. Can she survive a summer pretending to be her best friend? And can Birdy stop herself from falling for the first man she's ever actually liked, but who thinks she's someone else? <p/>One good friend's very bad decision is at the heart of this laugh-out-loud love story and unexpected tale of a woman finally finding herself in the strangest of places. <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> Advance Praise for <i>The Summer Job</i> <p/> One of <i>SheReads</i>' Best Beach Reads of Summer 2021 <p/> "Witty and funny and it packs an emotional punch...Loved it, I'm in the queue for more Lizzy Dent." --Josie Silver, author of <i>One Day in December</i> <p/> "My perfect summer read!
