When Angela Clark’s best friend Jenny invites her to join a press trip to Hawaii, three days of sun, sea and sleep sounds like the perfect antidote to her crazed life.
At work in New York, she’s supposed to be the face of Having It All. But the only thing Angela feels she excels at is hiding in the printer cupboard, eating Mini Cheddars and watching Netflix on her phone and if this is living the dream, she's more than ready to wake up.
A few days away with Jenny sounds like exactly what she needs but Angela’s talent for getting into a scrape guarantees nothing goes to plan – and not even the most beautiful beaches, blue skies and daiquiris will get her off the hook…

Well if you have to end a much loved series, I can't think of a more perfect way for it to end. Although I feel like I've been through the wringer emotionally with this book, as there is to my mind are rather ominous prologue, where I was fearing bad things.
Thankfully my ability to predict what is going to happen in a book is rubbish as always, and I loved every single second of the book.
It was wonderful to be back with Angela and the gang, although I'm utterly bereft that we won't be getting another I Heart book. This is just as much fun if not more so than all the others in the series, and easily a new favourite of mine.
If you are a mega fan of Lindsey's you will spot other characters from her other series popping up, as well as the whole venue in Hawaii being incredibly familiar. The second I started reading and Jenny was talking about the Hawaii trip my mind was thinking I'm sure I've read about the state in another of Lindsey's books, so delighted to see there was a link up.
I even had to smile when I noticed in passing the name of a character who has had a series around him, from another author mentioned. As fans of both authors things like that always make me grin!
This is Angela at her best, she is trying to cope with motherhood, is going back to work, has approaches about joining a top mothering group, there is a talk of a big deal for her professionally - and yet she still has time for a 5 day press junket to Hawaii with assorted friends.
When you put Angela Clark, Jenny Lopez, Louisa, James and Eva together on a tropical island, expect fireworks, and hilarity to ensue. The scene with the horses is fabulous, there is late night swimming, there is so so much fun to be had, as well as some more serious conversations between friends.
I loved seeing how Alex was with Alice, he really is the best husband you can get in fiction, and a superstar to boot.
From the second this book dropped onto my kindle, I knew I had to drop everything and just read it. Lindsey Kelk is always a favourite author, and I would love to wax lyrical about the whole book for hours, but I fear boring you - plus I'd rather you go out and read it yourself.
I have no idea if its readable as a standalone, I was far too engrossed in reading it, and being back amongst old friends, to even give it a second thought, plus all 8 books in the series are equally fabulous - so if you haven't read I Heart New York, go back to the beginning of the series, and lose yourself in truly entertaining stories.
Excellent writing, fabulous humour, and everything you have come to expect from a book in this series, I couldn't love this book if I tried. Well apart from when I remember that its the end of the series and then I just get upset.
I truly truly hope this isn't really the last we see of these characters, I'll settle for cameos in future books just to know they are all ok, and getting on with things.
Regardless if you love your romantic comedies, want to dream of going to Hawaii, or just generally want a wonderfully easy to read and incredibly entertaining story, you can't go far wrong with this one.
But please.... Lindsey Kelk, can we have some more!
Thank you to Netgalley and Harper Collins for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
