Everyone's favourite Glaswegian girl is back!

After having her heart well and truly broken, Zara Smith is more interested in fun than forever. But she's starting to wonder if she's slept with every (somewhat) eligible bachelor in Glasgow... and if there's such a thing as too much fun?!

With competition ramping up in Glasgow, Zara and her friends at Individualise can't pass up an opportunity to promote their aesthetics clinic - especially not when it involves an all-expenses-paid quick getaway to Dubai! It's THE summer destination for the sexy, rich and famous. Cue sun, sand and disastrous flirtations for everyone. But it's okay because once they get back to Glasgow, what happens in Dubai stays in Dubai, right?

Warning: this is NOT a romcom. It's dating in the 21st century and Sophie Gravia is about to give you all the toe-curling, cringe-worthy, laugh-out-loud details.

Well I couldn't' read this fast enough, it was perfect poolside holiday reading and that is exactly where I read it. 

It's full of real descriptions of sex, as was the previous book, and incredibly real characters, that you can relate too. 

I loved being back with Zara and her colleagues, and especially loved the time spent in Dubai. 

There are a multitude of laugh out loud moments, in addition to some cringeworthy ones. 

And Zara's ideas for the clinic she works at are inspirational. 

Oh and some of her initially dating exploits I wasn't sure whether to laugh, fear for her, or cry, they were just so... actually I have no words, but probably not a glowing recommendation for Tinder!

Loved this second book about Zara and am very curious to see what this author will be bringing us next. 

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