A funny thing happened on the way to the reunion… On a sunny Saturday in June, the Ruby Girls head to Winchester to celebrate their fortieth birthdays – their first reunion since leaving school. While Claire basks in a glow of wedded bliss (and makes sure everyone knows it), her seven friends do not… so they’ve each concocted a cunning plan to divert attention from their own dismal love stories. But as the girls converge on the little city, they each find themselves caught up in a rather special wedding, inspiring them to rewrite history with a much happier (if not strictly true) ending. Will they be able to keep up their tall tales as the reunion lunch progresses, or will the truth spill out? Historic Winchester is the yummiest setting for this fun, fast-moving, feel-good story of renewed friendship, new love and leaving the past behind – even Jane Austen makes a cameo appearance!
