True Friendship

The Summer We Ran Away by Jenny Oliver is the most delightfully refreshing contemporary novel about friendship, life and love.

Friendships may be complicated affairs – new friendships are often about trying to fit in. Real friendships are like a pair of comfy slippers. Jenny Oliver examines false and real friendships. She shows how clicky, cruel and hurtful some can be. A real friendship is one where someone loves you enough to tell you the truth in love.

Keeping up with the Joneses is exhausting. Far better to live in the freedom to be ‘you.’

The novel explores various marriages and relationships. We see just how important it is to cherish your spouse and to be thankful for the life we have built together.
