An easy enjoyable read. Full of travel and romance. I enjoyed it!
A wonderful debut novel about growing up, moving on, and finding yourself. Definitely recommend you add this to your TBR list. A great beach read! I look forward to reading more by this author.
Thank you #NetGalley and #bookotoure for the eARC. This is my honest review.
This book was my first by this author and simply brilliant from the first page fill of romance and finding happiness again and going away to Greece. Its well written with great characters and excellent story lines and has you hooked from the first page. Also about friendship and starting over again.
Mandy has been married to Danny and they met at school and she thought she was in love with him but they hardly have time together due to jobs and he starts coming home late but she doesn't suspect anything. He asks to talk with her and she learns he's been having an affair so he leaves and she can't cope at all so hope on a plane to Greece where she remembers it being beautful when she went as a child. She gets very friendly with the owners of the hotel but it's not all she thought it was to start with. Her best friend comes out as a surprise as well and they have fun. While she is there she has an idea to bring the lovely village alive again and to hold a concert. She comes home from her break and after speaking with her dad and then Danny she gets back with him but can it last or will he cheat again. She keeps going back to Greece to sort this concert out and she has a friend who has come back in her life helping her. While she's in Greece can she find happiness again and learn to love again. Well worth reading and great to curl up and think of summer days. Amazing read.
My first book by this author. I liked the storyline and the main characters. It was an easy read but I felt like it was missing a bit of oomph.
Just what I needed on these cold wet spring days... roll on summer! A fantastic cheerful beach read
I would say this is one of the best beach reads I have read in a long time. I loved following Mandy’s adventures. While, I would never want my husband to have a fling, Mandy definitely had a good time. The only question- Does she stay or does she go?
Thank you Netgalley for the ARC of this book. It is a wonderfully relaxing read! I read this on a road trip and time flew by!
What a lovely, cheerful book! I was really in the mood for something like this, and the story really does work with this charming cover. I liked Mandy and following her adventure, and the setting was beautifully rendered as well. Recommended!
Fabulous! Thank you for giving me the opportunity to read this book
I was transported to Greece, and given that I also have ties to Liverpool, this book was fantastic! Stayed up late to finish it. Great summer read, and lovely story.
When bar manager Mandy finds out her husband Danny has been having a fling she up's and leaves for exotic Greece inspired by watching A Place In The Sun, for adventure, sun and sea. A welcome break from the pub as her boss wanted her to take a break after the shock break down of her marriage after they'd been together since they were teenagers.
Her best friend Hayley also suddenly arrives in Greece to stay with her and also falls in list after Matt. Meanwhile kindly hotel worker Costas takes a liking to Mandy especially after Mandy helps him and his father begin hotel renovations and she helps them set up a music festival, even when she returns home she carries on helping. Danny also see's sense and splits up with Slimming World Sarah, an old school acquaintance of Hayley and Mandy's but Mandy knows Greece is calling once again.
The chemistry between Danny and Mandy was dwindling from the start as the serial cheat got on with his own life without Mandy yet when she met Costas you can't help but root for the pair to get together for sure! A fun read with great maturity in Mandy dealing with a rubbish situation and I'm glad she got so much from her trip to Greece with helping out a festival beginning which is a first in any chick lit book I've picked up and oi loved it the story line was perfect for this book!
Many thanks to the publishers for allowing me to review this book for them!
