~My Review~
4 Big Greek Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟
Now I want to book myself a trip to this little village Thakos in Greece… I usually am not pulled in by the setting of a book… but I think the author does such a magnificent job of describing this tiny village, she just made it come alive…. I also think she made Liverpool seem quite interesting, really all I know about Liverpool is the Beatles… yes, I vacation vicariously through the characters in my books!
Mandy was a fabulously relatable character…. blindsided by her husband‘s infidelity, a man she had been with since she was a teen … Mandy decides she needs to take a vacation and major props to her for going by herself…. she finds herself in this little village in Greece that isn’t quite what she remembers from her childhood…. but as she spends more time there she is taken with the charm of the place and the people…. and decides she wants to breathe new life into this village….
Looking back on this book there sure was a lot going on…. but really what I found most lovely was Mandy’s relationships with the females in her life…. she had a fabulous BFF in Haley and developed a wonderful relationship with Janet a girl she knew from high school who ran with a different crowd…. Mandy also had a strong relationship with her mother… and an interesting but important encounter with a woman on an airplane….
So… will Mandy learn to love again? Will she breathed life into the little village of Thakos? You will need to read this book to find out… it is really Mandy’s story to tell….
Recommend as a perfect beach read, when you’re in the mood for a lovely getaway…
*** thank you so much too Bookouture and Net Galley for a copy of this lovely book ***
About me by Sue Roberts: In my spare time I like to go for walks, read and watch films. Sometimes I enjoy just doing nothing. I think it’s very important to take time out in a busy world.
I am a qualified nursery nurse, currently working part time in a primary school. There is nothing more healing than the sound of a child’s laughter.
