This was such a fun book! I loved every single minute of it and laughed out loud a lot!
The story was told from Denny’s point of view, who as the synopsis above says has recently retired and is a bit bored of her new life. However, things begin to change for her when her stepsister invites to Mallorca on her hen do.
I really liked Denny. She was a real woman with doubts and fears, especially when she spots Bruno, her old boyfriend from university staying in the villa next door. All her feelings come back and she’s not sure what to do with herself, especially as it’s not all happy feelings! Fortunately the other ducks on the hen do are great fun and a great distraction from worrying about the Bruno situation.
I loved all the women in this book they were such fun, making me laugh out loud as I read about their antics and hilarious observations about life. There are so many great moments in this book, including a wonderful scene involving nuns and skinny dipping at a local beach!
Highly recommended if you enjoy romcoms and uplifting reads.
Thanks so much to NetGalley and Boldwood Books for my copy via the NetGalley app.
