…she’s generally pretty chilled, but on the rare occasions I’ve seen her riled, she’s been terrifying.

My Review:

 

This was a refreshingly light, whimsical, and enjoyable read from start to finish. It was easy to follow and I didn’t mind the predictability of some of the plot lines as it proved to be just what I needed. Their route was still engaging and fun while remarkably remaining upbeat and humorous despite the inevitable bumps in their road. The writing was breezy and delightfully amusing as it laced the tale together with wry humor, a best revenge break-up make-over, and a surprisingly easy holiday romance. I enjoyed these endearing characters as much as their storylines.

Phoebe MacLeod is married and lives just outside Sevenoaks in Kent. She has two grown-up sons at university and a disobedient dog. She enjoys reading, cooking, playing the piano, and walking the dog. She’s also keen on vintage and classic cars and can often be seen behind the wheel of her own classic – a 1928 Ford Model A.
