Did you know that flamingoes mate for life? Something that Women's Weekly dating columnist Cleo Wilder knows all about. Sharing her dating highs and lows over the last few years. As she approaches her 30th birthday her friend and editor Ali pitches an assignment to her. Following Emma Watson's recent marrying herself revelation, her editor thinks it would be a great thing for her to do too, Arranging for her to stay on Salvation Island off the Irish coast in the Atlantic Ocean.

Finally coming around to the somewhat wacky idea, Cleo finds herself on the island and face to face with the American she encountered on the boat. A mess-up over accommodation bookings and weekly boats to the mainland leads to them becoming roommates - somewhat begrudgingly (and involving a chalk line). Photographer Mack Sullivan is on the island from Boston, there to discover the heritage, charm and magic of the island he has heard so much about from his mom and gran. Separated from his wife for a year now, things have become difficult to bear and his two sons becoming affected by things he thought that some time away would be best.

Tissues at the ready for a story of self-discovery, moving on from a life you thought you were always going to have and micro-love affairs. As Cleo and Mack navigate their own personal journeys alongside the growing connection between them. Loving the three things they share each night in the dark before going to sleep. Discovering a warm welcome on the island Cleo makes some big decisions about her life, love and what the future holds for her.

Firstly, thank you to Netgalley, Josie Silver and the publisher for a copy of this book in return for a review.

I really loved One Day in December, and this didn't disappoint either. It was a lovely read, and another excellent novel by Josie Silver. I look forward to anything from her and will be keeping an eye out for future novels.

One Day in December is one of my all time favourite reads so when i saw this book i knew i needed to read it! Lets just say it lived up to my expecttions. Once i started reading i couldnt put it down and finished it in one sitting.

It made me laugh it made me cry. I think i felt so many emotons whilst reading this book and i'd go through them all again!!

Josie Silver is now an instant buy for me and i can't wait to see what she writes next.

I loved One Day in December but this one just had such a straightforward Romance plot it was like something from Harlequin/Mills and Boon. Two people book the same cabin, snowed in, etc. The writing was perfectly fine but I could see where it was going so didn't finish it.

I WAS very lucky to be able to snag a copy of ‘one night on the island’ on NetGalley and I can’t explain just how utterly extraordinary and wonderfully gorgeous this book is. The easiest five stars of this year, what a stunner. I cried, I laughed, my heart was so so full. This book is the reason I love reading so much. I can still taste and smell the sea air and I’ll be reliving this book over and over again. Thank you to Josie Silver for delivering a spectacular book, I am in love.

When I first started this book, I just could not take to the characters and their sense of entitlement. Gradually as the book went on though, they really grew on me.
I loved the setting of Salvation island, and the community and it's variety of people living there, all with their own unique stories.
Seeing Cleo and Mack's lives explained and seeing what has led them to Salvation was fascinating, and discovering how this unplanned trip would turn out for the two of them was heart warming.

A beautiful and cosy page turner, perfect for the coming winter months. I'd recommend reading this one wrapped up under a blanket with a hot chocolate!
I would go as far as to say this has been my favourite book by Josie Silver so far, and I have thoroughly enjoyed her previous two.

An uplifting and moving love story. One to be recommended.

I felt empathy for both characters - Cleo and Mack - and for their circumstances. Both need a ‘break’ and instead find each other and the start of something different.

Both learn about what is really important to them and how to realise that against the backdrop of a beautiful, isolated island off the coast of Ireland with its cast of irrepressible characters.

A joy to read.

I absolutely loved this book! One Day in December was a go-to comfort read from the very first time I picked it up a few years ago, and it’s a book I recommend to anyone and everyone looking for a good romance, so I just HAD to get my hands on this one!

The plot, the characters.. ugh! Amazing! I loved every second of it and can’t wait for a reread sometime soon!!

"Here's a blank bit of paper, write your story."
For the longest time, every October on my birthday I have, like Cleo did before her landmark 30th birthday, written a list of things I'd like to do before my next one. Before my 50th I wrote a list of 50 things to do before I was 50 - managed most of them.
This story hit hard at all those thoughts and memories.
Cleo goes to the island of Salvation to marry herself and meets Mack there. She falls for him and the island.
I loved this and was hooked within the first few chapters.
Brilliant book by a brilliant author

One Night on The Island is a feel good romance, perfect for curling up with on a rainy day, Cleo is a romance columnist sent by her boss on a job to 'couple' with herself on a remote island as she approaches her 30th birthday. Due to a mix up the cottage she was due to isolate in has been double booked and she finds herself sharing it with a loud American photographer. Both have been unlucky in love and eventually after a rocky start they find themselves falling for each other. A great feel good read with plenty of escapism

After thoroughly enjoying One Day in December, I was eager to get into this soon to be released book by Josie Silver, and I have to say, I devoured it within a few sittings.
Cleo is an online journalist, with a column all about dating in the modern world, and aspiring novelist, whose editor has the bright idea to send her to a remote island, to marry herself, in a symbolic ceremony, as she turns thirty - still single.
Not 100% convinced, she arrives there, literally in the middle of nowhere, to find her less than idyllic lodge to be double-booked.
Mack is that disgruntled American, who has come to the back of beyond to find out more about his heritage; to document stories his grandmother told him, and for some thinking time. And he is also of the opinion that he is the rightful new resident of Otter Lodge for the next few months.
What follows is a sometimes funny, but wholly poignant tale of how they end up forced to live with each other in a studio style flat, and the quirky routines that they develop, including the "three things' they disclose to each other regularly, and the chalk line. I won't explain more. You need to read!
A colourful cast of characters support Cleo and Mack, as they navigate life in this unknown place - a place that might not be a tourist haunt, but which is filled with locals who really care.
What is more to say? Well, I read it and wanted to go and find myself, too, like Cleo! Where's that remote island?
(Oh, and if you are an emotional reader, you might want to arm yourself with a tissue box!)
Many thanks to NetGalley and Penguin UK for an ARC in exchange for an honest opinion.

I have to admit that I was a bit unsure about this book as the idea of going off to find yourself and self-coupling does not appeal to me. However I was very pleasantly surprised as the storyline was excellent and the characters were very likeable. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a slightly different romance story.

I loved this book, fabulous characters, wonderful setting to sweep you away. written with gentle humour and really engaging story. Highly recommend.

Fabulous story format. I enjoyed reading this and following Cleo and Macks journey. Wish I could visit Salvation Island right now, sounds perfect! #onenightontheisland #NetGalley

A fast easy read, Prefect for a winter night in front of the fire. This book is full of likable characters, laugh out loud moments and some weepy ones too.
I like e the authors style of writing giving you both macks and cleos point of view.
Over all I would definitely recommend this book, I enjoyed it

Thanks netgallery for the advanced copy of this book.

Cleo is a columnist who writes about her search for love; or her flamingo because these birds mate for life.
Her editor sends her to Salvation Island, a tiny bit of rock in the Atlantic off the west coast of Ireland with instructions to 'marry herself' and to report on the experience.
Mack is the 'inconvenient American' who also expects yo stay in Otter Lodge and can't be persuaded to leave.
Both of them start out rather antagonistic but Salvation Island and the very special community Cleo and Mack come to know and love work their magic.
Mack goes home to Boston to be there for his sons wondering whether he can salvage his marriage.
Cleo wants to be a novelist, but does she actually have a story in her?
I loved this book. The characters are so attractive; pregnant Delta, Carmen who's sheep give the best wool on the island, Dolores who is sharp and disapproving. I really wanted to join the knitting circle and to find the pool in the cave. Delicious!

What a brilliant book. So many great female characters, beautiful scenery so amazingly described and a wonderful love story. Yes it may be a little predictable but isnt that what you want from a romantic novel. Im already packing my bags and heading for Salvation Island!

A lovely novel that was a great bit of escapism. Cleo is a romance columnist who is unlucky in love so goes to stay on a remote island to "couple" with herself as she approaches her 30th birthday. When she arrives it seems the cottahe has been double booked and she meets her new roommate Mack. The novel the follows their story together and their individual journeys of self awareness. I loved the tales of the island community and the not quite so traditional happy ending. Thanks to netgally for the early copy in exchange for this honest review. I will definitely be reading more bybthia author.

What a wonderful book! It made me laugh out loud in some places and cry in the other and that's exactly what a good book should do - feel all the emotions! I was a little bit skeptical in the first chapters (marrying yourself?!) and I felt the topic was probably more suited to someone in their twenties but I thought the characters and the story was brilliantly done. Well done!

Read and reviewed in exchange for a free copy from NetGalley. I enjoyed Silver's other books, so was excited to read this one, and thankfully it didn't disappoint. I was invested in the characters and their story, and the setting was absolutely delightful.
