I enjoyed this book more than I expected to, as I never wanted to read Kinsella's Shopaholic series. The quirky characters at the hotel and the surrounding community were fun, and once Sasha started connecting with the people around her she became much more interesting and relatable. The romance was equal parts funny and sweet, with the challenges common to the genre.
I predict an adaptation, probably on Netflix or Hulu.

A character with dementia is portrayed with compassion, although the word dementia isn't used.poupimali's review against another edition

If you never have (I am really happy for you), this book is also for you.
The story is the journey of Sacha through all the overwhelming life sheās in, and somehow Finnās also.
I loved her so much.
To summarize:
- enemies to lovers
- small town (summer holidays but off season)
- childhood memories
- strong FMC
- emotional journey

I was proud of Sasha for her decisions throughout the book (the panicked, the risky, and the āfor greater goodā choices). I appreciated the journey weāre taken on as she embraces her lot, grows and carries on.
