A light, enjoyable read that made me wish I was on holiday in Greece (Santorini is definitely on the bucket list!). Wish there had been more resolve in the end but all in all a good summer read.

A cliché, feel good read was what I was after. But the main character was immature, the plot was boring and weak and there was no conclusion. Not a cliff hanger, more couldn't be bothered to write the last few chapters.

Really enjoyable read

I loved reading this book. It was so peaceful to relax into a light funny easygoing romance with beautiful scenery. As much as I enjoyed the book I almost did not give it five stars. The main character came across as a twit in playing two guys and her insecurities and I hated the lack of conclusion. The open ending worked, but it left me wanting more.

 I'm not gonna review this book. I DNF'd it a couple of months ago and I just saw it in the Kindle library and remembered I never added it here. It sucks. The MC is just... fucking unbearable. I cannot deal with this book. Nop. No. Big no-no. DNF'd. Sorry.

A blissful escape

This book really hits the mark if you're looking for a romantic escape with a Mediterranean feel. I thoroughly enjoyed it, particularly the themes of self discovery.

A light and funny at times read, with a perfect description of wonderful Greece islands and the tasty Mediterranean food.
Taking a break from her actual life, the heroine goes on a trip where she hopes for a change, a twist in her life. She will have her wish come true as she will meet not only one but two men interested in a romantic relationship with her.
The writing was good, the characters reliable but what i didn't really like was the banter and some repetition of the same questions/dialogue from either the main characters or the secondary ones.
There's also the what if/ will they do this or will they do that questions that made me take a step back from the book because i just lost interest although i really wanted to love more this story.

The narrator in this book was so annoying and repetitive. She voiced the same concerns and arguments over and over. Same with the two love interests, they both had about 3 original thoughts and nothing new to say. This book started off well and I enjoyed the first hundred pages or so, but after that I couldn’t wait for it to be over and could’ve skipped to the last two chapters without missing any context.

A relaxing and fun read. Sarah has just gotten out of a bad relationship and feels she needs to get away. She books herself on a sailing tour of the Greek Islands. It is a fun romp as we meet the other members of the cruise and briefly take a trip. There is romance also - delightful!!
