So, here's the thing... I haven't finished a book in years now, I believe, so I just needed an easy win. And this book was definitely it. Easy to read and pleasant. Not really my cup of tea (and certainly the kind of romance I certainly would never read), but that doesn't make this book bad. The ending felt a bit rushed. Overall, a pleasant and not too challenging experience.

The best yet from Ruth Hogan. An irresistably delicious romp through 1970s holiday camp, you can see the chalets and smell the beer, it's better than black forest gateau and cheese and pineapple hedgehog. A novel of love, hope and family. Loved loved loved it ❤
