Sometimes you need a little bit of light relief and admittedly I have been reading some heavier texts lately. So when I picked up Sue Watson's Love, Lies and Lemon Cake I was hoping for a sprinkle of sweetness and a book that I could completely escape into and one that I could put down without stressing out. Sue Watson delivered.

It is the story of Faye, a woman old before her time who finds a new lease of life and starts living it to the max. This is book full of hope, joy and at times was a little bit spicy.

Romantic comedies are not my usual cup of tea but Love, Lies and Lemon Cake really did have me giggling aloud. A brilliant beach read for the summer.

Love, Lies and Lemon Cake by Sue Watson is available now.

A lighthearted read.
I would recommend to family and friends.

Many thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for my ARC, in exchange for an honest review.

It was a sparkling, amusing reading starring a mature woman who decides to take over her life, which has now become a boring routine
Faye works as a hairdresser. She has a husband and a daughter who has already left home to study in college. Her marriage is now over, she and her husband don't talk to each other any more, the only things that still keep them together is their daughter and the fear of change. When she was still a student Faye had a thousand dreams and a thousand wishes, she had also made a list of things to do before the age of thirty (see a sunset in Santorini, make love in a meadow ...), unfortunately she couldn't do just one of them. She became pregnant and gave up her career but also her vitality. She is still young, she can not only survive and finally finds the courage to get out of this situation. She goes to live with one of her friend and knows a charming Australian boy who prepares really fantastic desserts. He is younger than her but why not try, even if it will last only a few months? He will help her make several points on her list.
Faye is a shy and very insecure woman, sometimes she's really clumsy and hunts in embarrassing situations. But her relationship with Dan gives her much confidence and makes her feel again loved and attractive.
It was a quick and flowing reading, written with a simple style full of humor and irony.
I recommend it to those who love Chick Lit and Greece, there are descriptions of such fascinating landscapes that really make you want to pack.

Sue is one of my favorite authors hands down. I love each and every book and can’t get enough.
The characters are fun, the stories are well written and pull you in!
I recommend to all my book friends! I can’t eait to read more!
