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!
