Published 12 June 2025

Four seventeen-year-old friends drive across France in what should be the holiday of a lifetime. But Sasha’s struggling with her dad getting remarried; Cam is reeling from being rejected by her birth grandparents; Hetal’s terrified of letting everyone down; and Nell’s worried that while she’s away her relationship with Tom is falling apart. When things go wrong and emotions run high, will they have what it takes to rekindle their friendship?

 They need to remember why they’re friends. They need a road trip to end all road trips. They need a summer under the stars.
