The brand new laugh-out-loud summer romcom for 2022! Perfect for fans of Cressida McLaughlin, Mandy Baggot and Heidi Swain

When Lydia wakes up after a wild night out in Kefalonia with a tattoo saying ‘Awesome Andreas’, she’s mortified. She doesn’t remember meeting anyone called Andreas. And after all, she’s an accountant with a five-year plan. She’s definitely not a party girl.

The sensible thing to do would be to research how to get the tattoo removed and move on with her safe and steady life. But she’s had enough of being predictable.

Instead, Lydia decides to track down the mysterious Andreas, but the path to true love is never simple. As she goes from one disastrous date to another, she starts to lose hope in ever finding him. Perhaps Lydia is looking in the wrong places, and the right man for her is just next door, if only she’d take a chance on him . . .

I can't help but think another title for this book could have been "Searching for Awesome Andreas", as that is pretty much what Lydia is doing. 

Well after she discovers a tattoo on her back saying Awesome Andreas, which appeared during a few missing hours of her last night in Kefalonia, before returning back from the girls trip away yo move in with her boyfriend Jim. 

Thankfully we don't have to put up with too much Jim, and Lydia flies back to Kefalonia determined to find out just who this Andreas is and why he is awesome. 

She just needs to find a job, accommodation and earn some money, and perhaps come up with a plan on of how on earth to find a man she can't really remember. 

To say there are a few Andreas dates would be an understatement, but all so different and all equally memorable for different reasons. 

I loved getting to to know Lydia's new friends too, and although I did partially guess something from the finale, I still had the reasoning wrong and was very happy with the outcome regardless. 

It was a joy to see bits of Kefalonia through Lydia's eyes, and this is wonderful escapist beach reading. 

Thank you to One More Chapter and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
