This book probably made more sense if it had been read as part of the series.
Angela, married with a 10 month old baby girl, is given the chance to have an all expenses paid trip to Hawaii with her best friend.
The story was a little boring at times.
Not a favourite

This was a nice easy to read book, predictable in places but still enjoyable all the same. Enjoyable but perfect to read by the beach on holiday

A great round off to the I Heart Series. I really enjoyed catching up with Angela and all her friends again. Another great read from Lindsey Kelk.

Such a fantastic end to the I Heart Series!! I've adored these books from the beginning and identified with Angela so much. Watching her as her work, friendships and relationships grew and changed as she did. She'll always be adorable, ditzy Angela no matter what her age.

Angela is married to Alex with her lovely daughter Alice and is starting her first day back at work since her maternity leave and is now in a new job working for Cici her former assistant. She has only been there a short time when her best friend Jenny tries to get her to go on a promotion with her, an all expenses paid luxury trip to Hawaii......... she can't go on that and leave Alice alone with Alex for five days can she!! As to be expected nothing will be totally straight forward but this time there could be far reaching consequences!

A fun light read that I read in one day and the last of the series! Can be read as a standalone but definitely better to have read the others in the series to fully appreciate the characters

Guys, it is the end of an era! I have absolutely loved every second of the I heart series, they are definitely books to be kept, treasured and re-read. I'm over the moon to report that this last book is everything I hoped it would be and more.

Kelk is incredible, this installment had laugh-out-loud moments and was as every bit as antic-filled as you would expect it to be. If you haven't read the others then go and do it immediately! Then come back and experience this one in all its glory.

I'm not going to lie, I had a good ole cry at the end knowing it is the last one these characters are fabulous and the whole gang will have a special place in my heart. I can't wait to see what Kelk brings out next!!

Thank you to Harper Collins & NetGalley for sending me this in exchange for an open and honest review.

I've been a fan of the "I Heart..." series since I received the first book as a free gift with a magazine 10 years ago. I am so, so happy that the series ended on a high. It was tough to say goodbye to some of my favourite characters but always good to leave the audience wanting more (instead of pumping out titles long after all storylines have been exhausted). A great beach read that will make you feel warm and fuzzy inside.

You don't need to have read the other books in this series to enjoy this one, but I'd recommend reading them anyway.
A really good closure book for fans of the adventures of Angela Clark and her chums, you will laugh, you will cry... and you will value your best friendships more because of it.
Oh and you will probably read the whole book in less than a day...

Absolutely brilliant way to finish the series. Although I am heartbroken that there will be no more!

Fun, familiar and a welcome return to favourite characters. I love Kelk's books and this one is no exception.

I was pretty excited to read this book but in the end I was disappointed by it. I found it unfortunately too childish for my taste (I am 40, maybe that's why) and also way too materialist I think. I read the two first part of the "I hear series" when I was younger and I already found that it was a bit too childish but I was hoping that because the characters grew up it would be a bit more "adult" but unfortunately not. I found myself bored during most of my read. Maybe I am too old, I don't know...

A very good read and one I can highly recommend to others.
I could not put this down.
Thoroughly enjoyable with an amazing cast of characters that you cannot help but engage with.

Another truly fabulous book from Lindsey Kelk but is this really the last time we are going to share the exploits of Angela, Alex, Jenny and the rest of the gang - please tell me it is not so!!!

Angela is married to Alex and mum to the most adorable baby, Alice. It’s her first day back at work since Alice was born and she is starting a new job working for her once arch nemesis Cici. Her best friend, Jenny, is trying to persuade her to go on an all expenses paid trip to Hawaii but she couldn’t go and leave Alex and Alice behind, could she? What follows is more fun and laughter and numerous scrapes that only Angela could find involved in.

I love the way Lindsey Kelk writes, it makes you feel like you are really there and part of the gang. Nothing is off limits and she makes everything so very relatable. I am sad that the series is ending but can’t wait to see what Ms Kelk presents us with next. It was a lovely touch to have characters from her other books appear.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an advanced read copy of this book in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

As a lover of all things Lindsey Kelk, and in particular, the 'I Heart' series, this lived up to my expectations! I read it in a couple of sittings; a super easy and engaging read which you don't want to end. Moreover, I don't want the series to end, but I believe this was the last one? Sad times. I look forward to seeing what Lindsey brings out in the future.
This is a great finale with plenty ups and plenty downs for the much loved character of the I Heart collection.
A must read for anyone who has followed any other books in the series, and for lovers of pure chic-lit. Get it now for your summer read!

I light and frothy tale. I have not read the earlier books in the series and am unlikely to do so. Would suit anyone wanting a romantic comedy that is undemanding. Nicely written and genuinely amusing at times though fairly remote from reality.

I still remember, many years ago being drawn to I Heart New York in the window of a book shop. I came home and said how much I wanted it, and went back and got it that day I fell in love with Angela from that book, and at 48 I'm still loving each and every exploit. I Heart Hawaii is as enjoyable as the first book, which isn't an easy feat after so many books. It's not just Angela who makes these books warm, funny, and heartwarming, it's everyone else too such as the wonderful Jenny, perfect Alex, funny James, the lovely Louise, and the Angelic and Devilish twins. I am so sad this is the last one, however it was a good ending after eight books.

I still have half a hope there will be more and this isn't truly the end. If it is, I thank Lindsey for bringing these wonderful characters into my 'reading' life for these past 9 years.

I loved this. Well written with likeable characters I read it in one sitting. Delighted to find this is the last book in a series, so I'm away to find out how it all began. I suspect I have a treat in store :0)

Thank you so much to NetGalley and to the publisher for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

The latest unmissable adventure in the fabulous 'I Heart' series.

Perfect summer reading whether you are going to Hawaii or Hornsea for your summer hols.

The latest and last instalment in the I heart series, featuring the usual cast and amazing locations.
Angela isn’t my favourite character, I have to admit, but it’s a nice ending to close the final chapter of what has been a rollercoaster ride for the main cast members.
