As much as I liked reading this I found it to be way too predictable. There was no moments in which you didn't expect the outcome. Not to say I didn't want it to end that way but I kind of came to expect it.

A nice story but a little too far-fetched for my liking.

Easy to read, nothing ground breaking but a fun book that will keep you hooked untill the last page. The ending felt a bit rushed compared to the rest.

Really enjoyed this book. Complete mayhem happened as soon as Flick arrived with her new man, Noah. Drop dead gorgeous and had taken a shine to someone instantly, and it wasn't his girlfriend.
Features 3 completely different couples at different stages of their lives. I won't spoil it, but well worth reading even though I guessed half way through what was going on.

Noah was the only truly decent person in this book. Ella and grace were fine. The others were atrocious. It just felt so weird to me how everyone settled for this situation and how clearly from the
Spoilerbeginning Ella and flick should switch partners.
SpoilerThat’s literally the only outcome I saw for this book.

Lovely. Not a fan of the idea falling in love and preparing a future in a few days, but still. Read in a one sitting.

The cover and the title of this book drawn me to read it after receiving this as part of bookfairy campaign. I love the scenery, adventures and the little comical moments Carole Matthews depicted. Unfortunately in the effort to paint the shiftiness of certain characters, it became quite longwinded, I’m not sure whether I will feel the same if I was in a different phase of my life i.e. before 2 young children running me around all day every day 🥴.
