Book Description

21 Jun 2012
Sophie Sturgeon can't wait for her annual summer holiday. Not only will it be a week away from work, it will be a chance to reconnect with her boyfriend Callum.

So this upcoming trip to Majorca is a big deal. Sophie's spent a lot of time getting ready. She's bought a new wardrobe. She's been waxed to within an inch of her life. She's determined she and Callum will have the best time ever.

Then Callum dumps her, the night before they're due to leave. In a show of bravery and independence, Sophie says she'll go to Majorca alone - but in fact, she hides in her London flat. But when her friends, family, and even Callum seem so surprised and delighted at her single girl courage, Sophie decides to go all out and recreate the ultimate 'fake break' . . . with hilarious results.

5.0 out of 5 stars In my favourites pile! 5 July 2012
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It is a good light-hearted comedy which actually makes you laugh. It is what it promises to be and it is a book you would read on your holiday again next year. I love this book the characters are entertaining and the plot is extremely funny. Will probably be reading this book again when I go France!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous 20 Aug 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
I thought I knew what to expect from this book by the title and settled down for a holiday romance. Boy was I in for a surprise!
The whole idea of the unique plot (I won't give it away for those of you thinking of reading it) was utterly hysterical. Just when I thought things couldn't get any more surreal there was another layer to the madness! I have to ask my fellow passengers on the plane to Dublin to excuse me as I am sure my constant giggling must have been really annoying.
A great read. If you are already a Chrissie fan then you won't be disappointed, if you are new to the club then lucky you, you have a whole back catalogue to discover.

I thought at first it was going to be same old, same old. With broken hearts and rotten blokes, but it turned out to be a good laugh with a satisfactory ending.
