He turned up for the weekend away with several packs of cocaine, and then dealt them to his boyfriend and Kat, despite being aware that she had a previously known drink and drugs problem, she had just lost her job 3 months earlier, and one of the other girls, Geri, is a detective sergeant with the Metropolitan Police.Darren is not the sort of person anybody should want as a friend, and I could not understand why nobody blamed him for what happened to Kat.I was also a bit disappointed that Geri didn't leave a humorous note in the visitors' book (all these places have them!) to thank the owner of the house for a marvellous night and an even more marvellous morning. Now that would have been sweet revenge.This book is crying out for a sequel - how will Geri cope with her new lodger? Where will Geri and Rachel go? Will Geri stitch Darren up to the local Drugs Squad? Too many unanswered questions.................. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Contemporary lesbian life, great writing! *by P***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 4 June 2015* I'll start by saying that I really like Clare Lydon's writing style. It's eminently readable, well paced and the character's conversations are natural and believable. Some of the analogies and descriptive passages are little gems. For instance, "...watched her wife go, feeling the familiar distance settle on her like morning dew," is just deliciously evocative and there are scores of these little diamonds scattered throughout.I did have a problem with following which character was which until quite a way into the book. That might just be me of course but they felt a little too similar to distinguish. It was however nice to read a book that was centred on a group of lesbian characters and that didn't have a predictable romance at its heart. I also liked that it didn't have a contrived ending and it didn't rely on the characters having some neat change of personality or heart. Throughout, the women are real and flawed and they remain so, which is very heartening.I look forward to reading more from Clare Lydon in the future. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Smorgasbord of Literary Delights *by B***M on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 19 November 2014* Claire has done it again. Like a magician she has pulled out another rabbit out the hat.Group of University friends go on their "Long Weekend" reunion and it has now reached 20 years. Having been on one or 2 myself I can relate to all these characters.From the outsider everything looks fine but with the way that this book has been written we have a window on each relationship and how it is or is not working. I also like the way that the chapters have been separated out as though you are reading a diary.I loved the description of the house and would love to stay there.This book is far deeper than "London Calling, but is just as enjoyable and with 8 different stories going on at the same time I was still amazed how it all came together.Finally I would recommend this book because Clare mentioned my favorite film, you will have to read the book to find out what it is?? --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/62104399-the-long-weekend](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/62104399-the-long-weekend) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
