The Last Sunset

Five friends made a promise. All of them told a lie. For fans of The Five-Star Weekend and The White Lotus, comes an emotional, sun-soaked story of friendship, second chances and the secrets that refuse to stay buried from No. 1 Irish Times bestselling author Melissa Hill.

**********

They all remember that summer. Just not in the same way.

Years ago, the Dune Deck on Nantucket was everything: a beach bar, a sanctuary, and the heart of an unbreakable group of five friends who made a pact to complete Forty Things to Do by Forty.

But now Lauren – the friend who held them together – is gone, and her final letters summon the others back to the island to finish the list without her.

Emmy is successful but emotionally adrift. Margot is quietly coming undone in a marriage she no longer recognises. Tessa’s glamorous life hides dangerous cracks. And then there’s Sarah, the fifth friend they never mention – the one who doesn’t return.

As the women retrace old rituals beneath Nantucket’s golden sunsets, nostalgia gives way to tension, secrets and conflicting memories. Because something happened that summer at the Dune Deck.

And Lauren’s last wish may not be reunion at all – but a reckoning.
