This was the perfect Sunday afternoon read. Nice and light, without any heavy deep plot dragging you down.

The story begins with Alice, who is engaged to Max, who proposed to her while they were vacationing on the island of Crete. Rather than letting her plan their wedding, he has steamrolled his way in and is and is making it a bigger and bigger production. Her girlfriends take her for her henparty back to the isle of Crete. As she begins to enjoy herself with her friends, immersing themselves in the Greek way of life, she starts to feel drawn to the small village way of living, and more importantly, to a very handsome Greek man. As the hen trip begins to wind down, Alice has big decisions she needs to make with respect to her future, her possible marriage and her fiance Max.

I loved the beautiful descriptions of Crete and how this book mixed romance and humor. This would be a perfect beach read or for someone looking for a little lighter reading, especially during this time. I recommend this book for lovers of travel romance.

I would like to thank Sue Roberts, Bookouture and Netgalley for the opportunity to read this book and exchange for a fair and honest review.

I have enjoyed immensely the plot and loved the characters. This is my first book that I have read written by this author and for sure it won't be the last. I recommend the book to anyone who likes to read and relax with a good book at the end of the day.

This is a very light, easy read.
I had some mixed feelings about this book as I was reading it. Alice and Max are planning their wedding, or more precisely Max and his sister are planning their wedding. Max has started a financial business and it is doing very well and he would like to go all out for the wedding. While Alice does not want all the fanfare, she doesn't speak up to him. It became a bit repetitive, Max would add guests or new attractions, like a fireworks display, and Alice would complain to herself and smile to Max.
When her friends take Alice away for her hen party, she sees a simpler life and way to embrace their wedding the way she always wanted.. The problem is will she ever have the nerve to tell Max what she really wants?
I enjoyed the book for the most part, but some of the sections just dragged on and I kept wishing for Alice to really speak up. Even when she tried it seemed a bit unreal.
I received an advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

As a true lover of the Greek Islands, I’m automatically drawn to any book that features them. As Greek As It Gets by Sue Roberts is a fabulous novel allowing you to escape from the world for a couple of days as you totally immerse yourself into the book.

It features everything you could wish for: beautiful whitewashed buildings in the Greek sunshine, gorgeous food and the descriptions of the Cretan village and Santorini will feel as if you have been transported there. Great characterisation and a plot that flowed well make this book an absolute winner.

Thank you to NetGalley, Bookouture and the author for the chance to review.

Alice is engaged to her boyfriend Max, and planning her dream wedding. But as the plans get out of control, her best friend takes her away for a much needed break to Greece.
As she lets loose and enjoys the Greek way of life, she begins to feels drawn to a small local town, and a very handsome man. As the trip comes to a close, Alice has big decisions to make on her future.

This is a prefect beachy summer read. From the beautiful descriptions of Greece, to the
humorous story-line with Alice, I enjoyed this book. There isn't anything deep about the book, it's a very light easy read. But sometimes that is just what a reader might need.

I’ve loved other books by this author and this didn’t disappoint. I love Greece and I could almost imagine I was there. Great easy read and relatable characters.

As Greek as it Gets sounded really good in the synopsis but once I started reading I just couldn’t connect with these characters. Alice has found her “perfect” man but she is having some very anxious feeling about the upcoming wedding with Max. She doesn’t confront the wedding issues, then there’s issues with her and her relationship with her mother as well. She leaves for her hen's week (who gets a week long bachelorette party??) and here is where I stopped because to me this story wasn’t really going anywhere, I wasn’t enjoying it, and I have so many other promising books to read. I have learned that even though it pains me, as I know how much effort and love goes into writing books, this book is a DNF for me. I just was annoyed by Alice and have to move on to something that catches my eye. I do hope other people enjoy this story but it just wasn’t for me.

I was provided with an electronic ARC through NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

Thank you #Netgalley for the advanced copy!

This is a fun summer read following the life of Alice as her wedding nears. Alice is engaged to an up and coming financial guy who is loving his new found wealth. Alice and her friends go away for a bachelorette weekend to Greece. During her time in Greece, she realizes that the wedding that she once planned was being changed and enlarged by her soon to be husband. Follow the progression of Alice during her last few days as a single girl.

I was excited to read a book set in Greece but something about the writing just didn't do it for me.

This is a story about an artist named Alice, who is soon to be married to her lovely fiancé Max. Before she gets hitched, Alice takes a Hen trip with her two best girlfriends and her soon to be sister in law. Alice hopes for a relaxing getaway, but instead takes the stress. of wedding planning (or lack thereof) with her to the Greek island of Crete. Alice is stressed about her wedding-she hasn't had much say in the plans. Being quite shy, and eternally grateful for Max, she is hesitant to vocalize her wishes. On the island of Crete, Alice feels more like herself, she finds the simple life very appealing, and is more willing to come out of her shell. Along the way she meets Vangelis, the tour guide from the hotel. They develop a quick connection and share special moments. Those that make Alice begin to question her entire future.

I did not enjoy reading this book, for many reasons. To start positive, the book was well written and I did want to finish it, primarily for reviewing purposes. I was happy with how Alice's character ended right at the very end. I enjoyed Gail, her boss and her friendship with Ria. Now, I started this book and 75 pages in I went and re-read the synopsis because I had no idea what it was about. There was no problem, nothing was arising. After, all of the drama happens in about 50 pages and then it's right back to pages and pages of really nothing. Non of the side stories were explored very well. I did not like the other characters. I found Max so cringey, he was written to be overly perfect but wasn't. He didn't realize anything that was going on with Alice. Although Alice can also be blamed. For the entire story she constantly goes on about how perfect Max is and how grateful she should be to be with him, and everyone around her reinforces that! Meanwhile, she also spends the entire book questioning everything, not being able to be honest with him and so on. Additionally, the problem in this book is so minor and so blown out of proportion. If this book didn't revolve around a wedding, it could've been written about middle schoolers. I did not like the comments Alice's friends made to her, or comments she made. Alice came off as very awkward. Her lack of self-esteem and confidence came off as silly and as someone who needs to get it together. Then, she randomly had outbursts of confidence! Her "relationship" with Vangelis was very normal and random, nothing surrounding it made sense. She didn't want to see him but then went and got a drink with him, and so on. I hated how she commented about needing to fit into her wedding dress and how Max made a comment about her getting fit as well. Nothing about this book meshed with me-I was super disappointed.

The story of Alice and Max.
When Max proposes to Alice on holiday in Koutouloufari, Crete, Alice is sooo happy.
Two years later and they’re preparing for the wedding.
Max seems to be inviting people he knows and has known for ages and even those who’ve been on TV, and Alice wonders if it’s getting too much.
Her relationship with her mother is a bit strained.
When Alice goes on her hen party in Crete, she gets talking to a gorgeous man who work at the hotel one evening and they kiss.
Back home, and she can’t forget what happened and one night tells Max as she doesn’t want to keep secrets, who doesn’t take it well. Things get strained between them and Alice worries that maybe the wedding won’t happen.
Even her moms angry with her.
But, Max surprises her with a holiday before the wedding, again, once there she gets another surprise- they’re getting married. A few of their close friends and family are there too.
A lovely summer read. Loved the settings.

Planning a wedding is an exciting time for a couple in love. Alice Clark has her mind set on a quiet, romantic wedding: intimate, joyous, with loved ones around you all celebrating your unity and the new life of your lives as man and wife. But unfortunately her handsome fiancé Max doesn’t share the same idea for his wedding. He wants a lavish do, lots of guests; the more the merrier, music, fireworks, the whole shebang. What’s more his sister is a wedding event manager and offers her services to Alice and Max. The nearer to the wedding it gets, the more input Max gives, his whole heart and soul set on making it a spectacle to be admired and remembered as a wonderful day.
Of course they are deeply in love. When Max proposed to Alice she was wild with joy. They are total opposites: she on the shy side and hated drawing attention to herself, and he diametrically opposite; sociable, flamboyant and loving being in the limelight. They say opposites are attracted to each other and this was certainly true of Max and Alice. They couldn’t get enough of each other.
For her Hen Night she and her friends are going to Crete for a short break and are staying in a lovely hotel not far from the quiet little village where Max surprised her with his proposal. Now that was so romantic and while she is in Crete she plans to pay a solo visit to the very same lovely Taverna and drink in the memories from that special evening. She and the girls envisage lounging by the pool, visiting the beach with a good book to read and going on some days out to enjoy the beauty of the island together and make memories they can share in the future. But that holiday is destined to change Alice in so many ways as she laps up the sunshine, frolics on the beach and enjoys the glorious cocktails, relaxed and enlivened by the serenity and friendliness of the locals. She almost dreads her wedding day as Max gets more and more ideas about making their day a day to remember. Is that what she really wants?
This story of a couple on the threshold of marriage is beautifully written and full of lovely memories for me as well. We too have visited Hersonissos, the Lassithi Plateau and the amazing Diktaeon Andron caves of Zeus, atop a rugged mountain. Sue Roberts has vividly described the picturesque scenery in the locality so well; I could see the views in my mind so easily. I loved her character development which made me feel an affinity with each of the characters. I cared about what happened to them and hoped Max and Alice would have their happy ever after. I loved the ending – it made me feel warm, happy and fuzzy.
I received this book through my membership of NetGalley and from publisher Bookouture in return for an honest review. Thank you for my copy. These are my own thoughts and I have read no other reviews before writing my own. I thought this novel was a short and easy read with lots of fun times but also with dilemmas and issues that these two main characters needed to overcome. It is a perfect summer romantic read, lovely for the beach, swimming pool or curling up and dedicating yourself to hours of pleasure. I enjoyed it and recommend it as a good read. It’s a 3.5* review from me.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for an advanced copy of this book.

If you're fed up of being stuck indoors and can’t get away on holiday because of the Coronavirus lockdown (and you love chicklit) then this is the perfect book to whisk you away to sunny, beautiful Greece.

The story is about the run up to Alice’s wedding and her hen weekend in Greece. I must admit I did find Max, her fiancé, a little annoying but my opinion of him did change.

A great easy to read story and definitely recommend if you enjoy a good chicklit.

A sincere thank you to the publisher, author and Netgalley for providing me an ebook copy of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review.

This is not my usual genre, I’m more of a crime/thriller reader however this story intrigued me. I absolutely loved it, truly one of the best books I have read. I am extremely pleased and grateful to both for opening up my mind to something totally different.

I wanted to like this and thought I was going to, the setting was great and the premise seemed good, however it just didn't quite work for me and I ended up being a bit disappointed. Just ok..

Aaaaahhh, here we are, for our own good locked up in our country, in our village or for some in our house even and it seems like this will continue to be the case for a while longer. But, no panic! When you can loose yourself in a book, it can bring you wherever you want to be. It's like this author offered me a plane ticket to sunny Greece and I gladly accepted it.

I felt the sand between my toes, heard the lapping of the waves on the beach, smelt the salty sea air and I almost whipped out my sun glasses and lotion. I enjoyed every bit of history and every view. I sat down to taste some Greek dishes and sipped an ice cold cocktail or glass of wine. I did not read the story. I became part of it.

It's ok to please other people, but don't forget about what you want too. Loose control a bit, but not completely!

I loved how the relationship between two opposite personalities even grew deeper and stronger when one of them took a bit more control while the other let go a bit more. 

Very cute story that I adored. 5 stars

Thank you, Sue Roberts and Bookouture

A big thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for the ARC. I am voluntarily reviewing this book. I don't think I have read this author before. I loved the premise. I adore Greece! But this fell flat for me. I actually found it a bit odd. Somewhat cute but still just odd. I didn't like Max seeomed ok at first oo then just obsessed with money, and a bit overpowering and controlling. Did have a cute ending though. 3 stars

Thank you so much for this ARC (and mini vacation!).

This genre is a little bit different for me, I am usually more of a mystery and suspense reader, but I really needed a break. This book was absolutely perfect for my reading retreat!

To be honest, at first I was really getting quite annoyed with Alice - you have a fiance that loves you and wants a mega celebration to announce his love to the world, but all she did was complain. However, I LOVED how the book wraps up with Alice gaining confidence and self esteem to say the things she feels and to pursue her dreams.

Wow, do I wish I was in Greece. The food, the villages, the flowers and the beautiful people!

So happy this story ended the way it did, very heartwarming.

I absolutely loved this book, I was transported to Crete and felt as though I was a part of the hen party. Alice is a character I could identify with apart from having a rich fiance we have a lot in common including choices of friends. I am so glad the book ended the way it did. Perfect.

Oh what a perfect time to read a novel like this! If you can't get away for your holiday then this is the perfect alternative! It's full of delicious sounding Greek food, descriptions of idyllic locations and fun. As soon as I saw that Sue Roberts had released a new novel I couldn't wait to jump on it and read it as soon as I could! The cover is so beautiful, with it's bright blue sky, pink flowers and pretty traditional Greek houses.

At first I wasn't sure what to make of Alice, yes she seemed lovely but at the same time she was constantly complaining about her wedding to Max being over the top, but then at the same time allowing him to do whatever he wanted! There were also constant references to how much Alice loved him and how much looking at him made her realise how much she adored him which got a little tedious after a while.

However, as soon as the friends jetted off to sunny Greece, I started enjoying the story a whole lot more. The friends all seemed like a laugh and I really liked reading about what they got up to on the island for Alice's hen do. Although, I will say I am a bit unsure as to Vag.....'s involvement in the whole story, as it seemed he was only in the book for 5 minutes. Although I'm sure he has a key role in the overall story, it just seemed a bit rushed and a bit unbelievable to be honest.

Despite that, I really did enjoy this novel. It was summery and an easy read which is just what we need right now. I loved the setting, the descriptions as to what the friends get up to and the food of course! It was a nice ending and I look forward to what this author brings out next. Thank you to the publisher for a chance to read an advance copy of this novel, which I have reviewed honestly.
