Beth Martin is 31, newly divorced and wondering just what life holds for her...
Best-friend, Heidi, is adamant that all the answers lie in Corfu – the island where the girls partied away their youth. So cue a trip to a sun-drenched Greek island, ouzo cocktails, a trip down memory lane... and Alex Hallas, the man Beth has never quite forgotten.

As they dance under the stars, the sand beneath their toes, old feelings begin to resurface and Beth might just have a chance to take back her life. If they can learn to love the people they've become...

The first line of the book made me laugh out loud, and I knew then that I was going to be in for a treat. Actually that first line is still making me giggle now! 

I do love a Mandy Baggot book, and this was no exception.  I had a wonderful new book boyfriend incredibly early on, I was hooked on Alex and his story, while also enjoying what the friends Beth and Heidi were getting up to in Corfu. 

We get to see a fair amount of the island, and each chapter is helpfully given a subheading of the exact location we were in.  I loved the assorted activities that Heidi roped Beth into as they tried to relive their holiday of 2009 and act like they were 21 again. 

Now what can I say about Alex Hallas, sexy Greek DJ, and man of many jobs.  Well I could certainly identify with his mother issues, and loved the project he was working on with his cousin.  I could also very quickly see why Beth had never really forgotten him, and spent the whole book rooting for them both. 

This is a story of second chance love, of having a wonderful two week holiday and emerging from it with a far better idea of who you want to be.   I adored every sun filled moment of the book.   

This is the perfect garden / poolside / holiday read, depending on where you are sitting in the sun.  It is feel good, has some fabulous sub plots and generally is an all around great book.   I loved it! 

Thank you to Netgalley and Aria for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily. 

Please do follow along with all the other stops on the blog tour for this wonderful book.
