Set against the backdrop of the legendary Eel Pie Island on the River Thames, Wild Summers transports us back to the summer of 1969, where music, rebellion and the promise of something bigger are in the air.

When seventeen-year-old Joan Summers is drawn into the world of the glamorous Nelson family and the island's infamous hotel, she's swept into a whirlwind of wild nights, unforgettable friendships and life-changing choices.

A nostalgic, atmospheric coming-of-age novel perfect for readers who loved Daisy Jones & The Six.

By her own admission, Cassie writes ‘books that make people cry’. Before publishing her debut novel, Number Thirty-Two, in 2023 she worked as a celebrity make-up artist, a career that took her to incredible places and introduced her to fascinating people.
