Affie is running away from her life back home, having just broken up with her boyfriend, an escape is just what she needs. Having been in many relationships that started on holidays in the past, so the last thing she wants is another relationship to end like the last one.

If I had to sum this book up in one word, it would be Exceptional.
Pernille has had many words printed in The Sunday Times, most proudly the word 'boobs'. Seduced by the promise of freebies she took her first job in advertising, but left when Status Quo tickets was as good as it got. After a brief spell marketing Natural History films, she switched to working in Children's television which for a time meant living in actual Teletubbyland, sharing a photocopier with Laa-Laa. Now, she lives in actual Buckinghamshire, sharing a photocopier with her husband Ian and their four spawn. While the kids are at school she scoffs cake and writes in order to maintain a shred of sanity.
Summer Secrets and Surprises - Molly Hopkins
Destination: Corfu
I have to admit that I fell in love with this book, it was beautifully written and quite funny as well. Sophie decided that going to Corfu to experience Alex, her boyfriend's history, she had no idea what she was getting herself in for. Alex's family are lovely but she misses everything that reminds her of home, including her phone which doesn't seem to work unless you walk up a massive hill just to get a signal. With her friends and family not answering their phones, Sophie decides to try and do whatever possible to get back to the life away from the bugs, hills and terrible food.
If I had to sum this book up in one word, it would be Shocking.
MOLLY HOPKINS is the author of IT HAPPENED IN PARIS and the follow-on sequel IT HAPPENED IN VENICE. Her books offer a fantastic cocktail of hilarity, sex, fun and romance set against an ever-changing backdrop of exotic destinations. If you have enjoyed your time with Evie and Lulu in Molly's first two books, then read IT HAPPENED AT BOOTCAMP. With one meagre gym visit between them and an addiction for white wine and saturated fats, Evie and Lulu decide to get-in-shape with laugh-out-loud consequences.
Molly lives in Surrey and has two teenage children who have two smelly big dogs. She will never be a size ten again or give up gin and tonic.

(Not that Jennifer Lawrence, although if it were it would be very cool).
If I had to sum this book up in one word, it would be Dreamy.
