My Greek Island Summer by Mandy Baggot
4.0
This is the best book to read during these crazy days, it will transport you to a beautiful island full of sand and happiness; the best way to disconnect, don’t you think?
I was in Greece a long time ago and this book made me travel there again, the descriptions of the food, people, landscape… it was like being transported to Greece instead of being on my boring sofa, and let’s admit it, I really enjoyed the trip, I’ll possibly travel there this night, will you accompany me?
The story is refreshing and with a lot of humour on it, Becky Rowe needs a vacation from her sister and job, so she decides to stay for 2 weeks doing a house-sitting in an impressive villa in Greece. It will not be as easy as she hopes, during the flight from London to Corfu she will meet her two partners in this adventure: Elias and Petra. The story is full of emotive moments, delicious recipes and romance, because who doesn’t love a good romance in summer?
I really liked how the author, Mandy Baggot, created this story. The characters felt real and with a purpose, not simply to entertain the reader. In the end I wanted to know more about them, how will they lives continue and if their happiness will be fulfilled. Don’t get me wrong, the story has a happy ending, but I was so invested with the characters that I didn’t want to end the story. I only hope we will see them in another story…
My Greek Island is a quick read, perfect to make you disconnect from your worries, ready for a sunny trip?
