Description

What if your life worked out perfectly . . . for someone else?

It's been 18 years since Ava spent the summer on the Greek island of Corfu, but she has never forgotten what happened during those months - or who she left behind.

Now single, estranged from her family, and preparing to wave her daughter off to university, Ava's life seems a million miles away from the one she dreamed about as a teenager - a life now being lived by her sister instead.

When Ava decides to return to Corfu for the summer, she knows she must finally face the place and the people that broke her heart. But with old resentments festering, long-buried secrets lurking, and familiar feelings resurfacing, it looks set to be a holiday that will change all their lives forever. . .

Another truly magical read by Isabelle Broom. The story follows Ava, who is tricked by her mother into travelling to Corfu and visit her estranged sister, who happens to be married to Ava’s first love whom she met in Greece 18 years ago.
This book is beautiful - there’s romance, a bit of greek sunshine, a huge helping of family drama and some great characters… some you will like more than others. It’s a fabulous summer read that I will be recommending to everyone.

Thank you to NetGalley, Hodder and Stoughton and the author for the ARC.

Having enjoyed this author’s previous books, I was looking forward to this one and it didn’t disappoint.

When Ava was a teenager, she fell hopelessly in love with Nico one summer on the island of Corfu. Now 18 years later, she’s back and about to come face to face with the boy who broke her heart. Nico is now married to her younger sister Mattie, who has no idea of their brief relationship. But Ava knows she is still in love with Nico, can she keep the feelings she has for him to herself or will she risk turning their lives upside down?

A great family drama with a good mix of characters, it was an excellent read.
