Title: An Island Promise
Three friends, one Balearic promise and a summer that could change their lives forever…
For twenty-one-year-old Belle Madden her first holiday to Ibiza with best friends Gem and Laurie was memorable for all the right reasons: partying the night away, planning a future filled with big dreams and making a promise to return in ten years to celebrate living their best lives – hopefully…
Fast forward a decade and Belle is desperate for a change. Eager to escape her relationship troubles, she jumps at a job opportunity that takes her back to the White Isle.
Despite loving island life and her new job, Belle realises something is missing. With their busy lives the three friends have drifted apart, their friendship fractured. Remembering their promise to return, Belle seizes the opportunity to organise a reunion holiday.
After the initial excitement of being back together in Ibiza, cracks start to appear. A lot can change in ten years. Dreams can be shattered, love lost and hope destroyed. And when secrets are revealed, long suppressed emotions begin to unravel…
Will Belle repeat her past mistakes or can a second chance summer be the beginning of a happy-ever-after for friendship as well as love?
What a lovely sun-drenched novel, set on the Balearic Island that I haven't actually visited, Ibiza.
Ten years ago Belle, Gem and Laurie had a wonderful time on a post uni girls holiday to Ibiza, partying the way only 21 year olds can. And it's a holiday that changed them all, and they promised they would return 10 years later.
Well life moves on and they perhaps aren't as close as they were, but then Belle gets a job in a hotel in Ibiza and she persuades the others to join her for a week. It's in a far prettier most sedate part of Ibiza and this is a novel that shows off all sides of this infamous party Island.
I absolutely loved getting to know the island of Ibiza, in addition tot our leading ladies. I also really enjoyed the flashback scenes to their first holiday from all perspectives, especially their last night.
Once of the secrets to come out of that I guessed incredibly early on but I was happy to discover if I was right and if it would ever come out.
And Caleb who Bella is now working for, is a great guy, but going through a tough time. Seeing how he interacts with his extended family was really heartwarming.
This was a really enjoyable story that I really liked.
Thank you to Boldwood Books and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
