Upside Down, Inside Out by Monica McInerney

3.0

Eva Kennedy decides to take a break from her job in Dublin as a delicatessen and goes to visit her friend Lainey in Australia. Whilst she is there Eva is hoping to forget about her failed relationship she had with Dermot. For a bit of fun Lainey ends up creating a new identity for Eva whilst she is on holidays which is fun until Eva wants to tell people who she really is and never seems to find the right time.

Joseph Wheeler has a rather stressful job in London and feels the need for a holiday so he heads to Australia. Whilst in Australia, Joseph attends a party where he bumps into Eva. After chatting to Joseph for a short time, Eva assumes that Joseph is a backpacker travelling around Australia and he goes along with it. They want to tell one another who they really are, but there never seems to be a good time. Will they eventually find out the truth about one another?

This was a light and enjoyable read, but I felt it dragged on a bit too much for me in parts. Although in saying that it is still worth a read especially if you're a fan of Monica McInerney like I am.
