Someone Else's Honeymoon by Phoebe MacLeod #Review

 

I am delighted to be taking part in the celebrations for today's publication of Someone Else's Honeymoon by Phoebe MacLeod. It is a lovely holiday read by Boldwood Books.

 
When Charley finds herself suddenly single on Christmas Day it feels like her world has fallen apart.

Forced to move back in with her parents, she embarks on a journey of re-invention. When she meets Ed, who is on honeymoon alone after being jilted at the altar by a bride he's never met, it looks like her life may be taking a turn for the better.

Fate, however, has other ideas, and she and Ed are forced apart.

Will she find her way back to him, or are they just not meant to be?


 My Thoughts

I enjoyed this light-hearted read which zipped along at a pace and had a warm and uplifting feel. For a start, you get to escape with Charley from her broken romance, to the sunshine of the Caribbean. The story is laced with a gentle humour which is created through the characters and the situations they find themselves in. Through the reactions of Charley's ex, you sense the absurdity of some of his lifestyle choices which he seemed to take for granted should apply to Charley as well. As the story develops, you can see her coming out of her shell and working out how she will live her life in the future.

    Without publishing any spoilers, anyone who enjoys reality television, will enjoy a certain part of the story. You certainly see how the facade which some people put up is far from the truth. With a witty plotline and some appealing lively characters, this is an ideal holiday read for anyone looking to escape to the sun.

In short: romance and humour in the sun.
