Sasha is burned-out, to the point of fleeing her workplace and pleading with a nun to let her join the convent (despite the fact she isn't Catholic). When her family finds out how far she has spiraled, then arrange for her to go to the seaside town they went to every summer when she was a child. In February.
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.
