We are escaping to Corfu for Mandy Baggot's latest romcom, Summer Ever After which was published by Boldwood Books on April 11th
Forty-year-old Faye Lawson
is falling back in love with life at last. Finally divorced from her
cheating husband, she has turned her back on the UK and has been living
the Greek dream in Corfu managing a beautiful traditional boutique
hotel.
Twenty-something ex-professional basketball player Kostas Petsas’s
life, as he has always known it, is over. Having to take
early-retirement because of injury, he’s at a loss as to what to do
next. But when a piece of land in Corfu comes on the market, it seems
this might be the perfect fit. There’s just a couple of things in the
way… an area of natural beauty and… a little hotel on the beach.
Kostas
has never met any woman like Faye before – she doesn’t behave around
him how women usually do, and, when conflict starts to surface, it seems
they can’t see eye-to-eye on anything. Or perhaps, when things get
body-to-body, both of them begin to wonder if it can turn into
heart-to-heart.
Escape to the beautiful island of Corfu with Mandy Baggot - queen of Greek summer romance!
My Thoughts
Faye has found a place where she feels that she belongs after a messy divorce. Her daughter is now grown up and so at forty, Faye feels ready to live her own life, rather than always trying to paper over the cracks. Corfu is a beautiful setting and ideal for a holiday read. Faye has made friends with the locals and in some ways, this is a story about strong women and how they encourage Faye to follow her own way.
After Faye meets up with the younger Kostas, she finds herself drawn towards him, despite the age difference. He turns out to have several layers in his character and a complicated family dynamic. Uncomfortable with the adulation of the locals, Kostas has some scores to settle with the community but he finds out that he has some harsh home truths to face up to. With humour and romance binding the characters together, this proves to be an enjoyable escape.
In short: facing up to the future
