'When Eleanor is dumped by her fiancé, she decides to follow him and his new
love on their holiday. This hilarious romp is perfect summer reading.
Heat (May-June 2004)
‘A fabulous tale of sun, sand and sex – a great escape ’
New Woman (June 2004)
‘A beautifully written and terribly sad story about what happens when love goes wrong. The story rings powerfully true about how it feels to have your heart broken, and the beauty of the Italian island and the contrast between Eleanor’s misery and the other holidaymakers having the time of their lives is wonderfully evoked…Unusual and original, and a highly rewarding holiday read.’
Jenny Colgan
‘The finale is as passionate and dramatic as you could wish for. This debut novel is brilliantly funny, bittersweet and ultimately heartening – if you’re a fan of Marian Keyes and Kathy Lette, you’ll love it.’
Cosmopolitan (May 2004)
‘The writing is excellent, with beautiful descriptions of the Sicilian island where the action is set. Eleanor’s emotional recovery is very sensitively drawn… very funny, but we laugh with and never at Eleanor.’
