Perfect escapism - I absolutely loved this novel, the scenery is idyllic and the food sounds scrumptious!
The storytelling is beautiful, I was completely absorbed in the lives of Becky, Petra, and Elias. Filled with laugh-out-loud moments and a few more poignant ones too, you'll soon be hooked, torn between reading it as fast a possible so can see how it all turns out and not wanting it to end.
This perfect rich, warm and sunny read a fabulous story to lose yourself in, especially in these crazy times.
Thanks to Aria Fiction & Netgalley for sending me this in exchange for an open and honest review.

A lovely summer read! Classic rose tinted glasses style romance but I still enjoyed it.

A way to go your summer holidays without leaving the house. Sunshine in Greece, a little romance, new friends and a bit of fun. A great escapism, makes me want to go to Greece.

A summer adventure, in sunny Greece. A change meeting, or three. Romance. It sounds like a great mix for an light afternoon read. Unfortunate I didn’t find it so.
I really wanted to like this book, but sadly I didn’t feel any spark. I felt like i was experience this book from behind a window, could see all that was going on but wasn’t really there. I just don’t think this book was for me. And the only bad thing I can say is that this books needs contractions, badly. The conversation were stiff and formal for the lack of them and it made reading a bit stilted.
For anyone who likes chance encounters, summers in Greece and a sweet building romance this book would be perfect for you.

In the summer I always love a good chick lit book and place them in Greece or Italy and I will read them. Greece has been on my bucket list for a long time and experiencing Greece through this book was just delightful.
The story line was fabulous and the humor was placed perfectly! I have read a few of Mandy Baggot books and I will definitely read more as they are an enjoyable read that takes you on a wonderful vacation in your mind with her details and descriptions of the country all wrapped around a fabulous romantic tale.
