Not My Greek Wedding

by Sue Roberts

It’s a big fat Greek wedding! Mia is determined to be the perfect bridesmaid for her best friend. That means no romance of her own… right?

Newly single Mia Green is setting off to Greek island of Santorini. She’s ready to be the best Maid of Honour for her friend Tasha. And this destination wedding could spell happy after ever for both of them…

Enter hunky local Christos, a wedding guest, whose family also owns the glitzy venue. He looks like a Greek god and is kind and caring to boot. But is he worth getting Mia’s own personal life tangled in her friend’s big day?

But her friend sees the looks passing between them. So, with Tasha’s encouragement, Mia lets herself get caught up in a whirlwind romance. Yet she feels increasingly out of place in Christos’s glamourous lifestyle. Could their differences come between them? Or, with wedding bells ringing, could this be the start of something magical?

This absolutely gorgeous and unputdownable beach read is perfect for fans of Kate Frost, Mandy Baggot and Holly Martin . Pack your bags and get ready to be swept away to the stunning beaches of Greece!

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC!

This book was not good. Mia, the main character, is just awful. She’s an TikTok influencer wannabe and her inner dialogue is just awful. The writing is very amateur and I was bored throughout the book. I was looking forward to reading it but it’s just not good.

Review: Not My Greek Wedding by Sue Roberts

If you’re craving a sun-soaked escape with cocktails, chaos, and a touch of Greek magic, Not My Greek Wedding is your boarding pass.

Mia, fresh off a broken engagement, lands in Santorini to be Maid of Honour at her best friend’s destination wedding—ironically on the island she once dreamed of marrying on herself. From the very first page, the novel bursts with vibrant energy: whitewashed villas, cascading florals, sandy toes, and plenty of prosecco. You can almost hear the clinking of glasses and smell the salty breeze.

The plot glides effortlessly from heartfelt to hilarious, especially as Mia stumbles through wedding disasters, tangled feelings, and a not-so-subtle flirtation with local Adonis, Christos. While she starts off a little too obsessed with her influencer life—follower counts, freebies, and #ad content overload—Mia eventually begins to reflect, grow, and open herself to something real. Her bond with her quirky, wise grandmother adds genuine warmth and heart to the story, grounding her in something more lasting than likes.

Yes, there are moments where the dialogue feels light and the character arc could go deeper. But honestly? That’s part of the charm. This isn’t a heavy, life-changing read—it’s a glossy, flirty postcard from paradise. Perfect for lounging poolside, cocktail in hand, dreaming of your own summer reboot.

A little messy, a little magical—Not My Greek Wedding is like a fizzy spritz on a hot day: refreshing, pretty, and hard to resist.

At first glance, this book seemed like a fun beach read. That changed however when I started reading it. There were a lot of instances where the book was repetitive, full of filler scenes and unsupportive to the plot. The things that stuck out to me were Mia’s fixation in letting the readers know how she was an influencer in every chapter and the sheer number of visits to the local bars and restaurants. I’m talking breakfast, lunch, dinner and everything in between. That’s basically all that happened throughout the book.

Moreover, the thing that bugged me the most was how inaccurate the description was. Mia is not reeling from her breakup (which happened a year prior) with her boyfriend, not even fiancé, and, until she landed in Santorini, wasn’t even thinking about potentially having her wedding there. Also, her friend’s wedding is just a starting point, not the whole plot, and nothing happened during that needed Mia and Christos’ help to solve. Since Christos came up, the supposed “MMC” was so infuriating and unlikeable in my opinion, I started to wonder if another man would come along.

I also found Mia, in the beginning, quite shallow and I could see how she was living in her own little world, but luckily that changed in the end.

The only things that saved this book were a certain Greek man and the descriptions of the foods and places in Santorini.

All in all, if you are on holiday and want an easy read, this could be an option.

Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

First of all I’d like to thank the publisher and net!galley for granting me a free e-arc in exchange for an honest review.

Happy release day!!
Today June 19th Not My Greek Wedding gets published, enjoy it!

I was honestly so excited for this book.
A cute wedding set up in Greece, but I couldn’t get into the story.

In my honest opinion, I feel like there was no depth to the characters or the plot.
The FMC (Mia) goes from one Greek boy to the next in like 2seconds in her head, but nothing ever really happens.

Then there is her friend Lulu, a (I think) single mom who comes with her to her best friend’s wedding. But all she ever does is complain en moan about her daughter who is a teen/adult at home.
Like okey I get it you’re a mom, but girl YOUR IN GREECE ENJOY IT!

Also what was up with Christos? I didn’t like him one bit.

I’m really sad this book wasn’t for me. I was looking for a little more depth and plot twists. I needed a bit more adventure to it I guess.

I did like Irene and Patsy’s vibe though!
I hope if you decide to read this book you will love every second of it!

Mia recently ended her engagement, making attending a wedding right now a daunting prospect. However, her best friend Tasha’s upcoming wedding on the breathtaking Greek island of Santorini is an unavoidable obligation.

Determined to endure the wedding and return home, Mia, the maid of honor, promises to make Tasha’s wedding an unforgettable experience. As she immerses herself in the festivities, Mia begins to find solace and begins to heal from her heartbreak.

“Not My Greek Wedding,” a captivating summer Rom-Com by Sue Roberts, transports readers to the enchanting Greek island of Santorini. The island is described in vivid detail, surrounded by crystal-clear blue waters and sun sparkling like diamonds on the waves.

The story boasts a delightful cast of characters and a straightforward plot that keeps readers engaged from beginning to end. I felt as though I had been transported to Santorini, basking in the warm sun and feeling the gentle breeze through my hair.

Rom-Com fans seeking an island getaway will find this book to be a delightful read.

The Blurb :
Mia is reeling from a breakup with her fiancé. And now her best friend Tasha is getting married on the beautiful Greek island of Santorini – where Mia once planned on having her own wedding.
Arriving at the resort, Mia’s breath catches at the sight of the sun-soaked terrace and vases overflowing with pink and white blooms. And with guests like local hunk, Christos, walking around like statues of Greek gods come to life, there’s even more to celebrate… so Mia promises to put her own heartache aside and make sure everything is perfect for Tasha – especially as she’s the Maid of Honour!
But with embarrassing speeches, champagne corks popping everywhere, and guests getting caught up in the energetic Greek dancing, there are too many problems to tackle alone. If she opens her heart, can Mia and Christos make sure the day runs smoothly, and could she even start her own new love story in Greece?


My Thoughts :
We meet Mia, thrown in at the deep end after a break up. She now finds herself in Santorini at her best friend Tasha’s wedding.
It should be her standing there in the white dress and at that exact location but when Mia’s fiance broke off their engagement after cheating on her she has no choice but to suck it up and put a brave face as the Maid of Honour.
Enter the gorgeous Christos, who just happens to be everywhere, as the couple get invested in making Tasha’s dream day its hard to ingnore the attraction that is there between them. Just when Tasha was sworn off men for good!.
Tasha soon makes new friendships, has her own new adventures and maybe a new love interest.
But has she been burnt and in no way wants any man in her life!?.
Sue Roberts always delivers us escapism and this story was no different, sit back and relax with a cocktail in hand as we find ourselves lost in the romantic Greek surroundings and beautiful scenery of Santorini.
Looking forward to more stories soon.

There are a lot of things to like about this book, for me the descriptions of stunning Santorini really evoke the island bringing back many memories. In the beginning I loved the descriptions of the tavernas and the delicious food but to be honest, after a while I was hoping for something more.

I think the problem is that as a reader I didn't really warm to either of the protagonists. That, together with a very light plot, meant that it just lacked a bit of conflict. Fortunately, things improved towards the end and I enjoyed the book, mainly because of the setting and the writing. With this book, it is not so much of working out what will happen but engrossing yourself in how it happens.

Perfect if you're looking for a beach or summer read set on a sun-drenched Greek island.

[Lydia Haigh · Rating 2 out of 5]

I enjoyed how descriptive this book was with the summer feel and the gorgeous setting it took place in. However, I found Mia, the main character, was shallow and too focused on her social media image and money. The repetitive topic of how much free stuff she is sent from her videos or how many followers she had was very off-putting making me unable to relate to her. I had high hopes for this book as a cute summer read however, I found it hard to overcome the immaturity and selfishness of Mia.

Thank you to NetGalley for this Arc in exchange for my honest review.

[Renske · Rating 3 out of 5]

I did enjoy this but I did not enjoy all the mentions of Mia's social media job it was really annoying to constantly hear about her having to take pictures for her accounts and in the end we didn't hear that much about it (maybe less mentions but some comments about her posts from "followers" would have been nice?) And I also did not really like how hung up she was about Christos... anyway overall I liked it and the ending was really sweet. oh and Irene, Patsy and Lulu were really fun I loved them all!

[Kelly (aka jsybookworm) · Rating 4 out of 5]

My first book by Sue Roberts and what a lovely and charming feel good story this was. Well deserving 4 stars.

Mia is looking forward to the wedding of her oldest friend from high school, Tasha, the wedding is due to take place in sunny Greece and Mia is to be the maid of honour. After the breakdown of her relationship and being made redundant, a nice break in beautiful Santorini is just what she needs, it will also provide great content for her burgeoning social media account that she is running. Singing is her real talent, but she hasn’t the confidence to pursue it and so settles for her social media influencing in the hope it will eventually become something she can earn money from. The wedding is beautiful, and Mia has fun especially after inviting her friend Lulu as her plus one and also bumping into Tasha’s aunty, Irene, who she knew when she was a child. With Irene’s cousin, Patsy, the group make a great foursome. Mia and Lulu plan to stay on after the wedding for a little bit, to enjoy a break and explore the local towns, and do so, enjoying the company of Irene and Patsy. Mia attracts the attentions of two locals, Christos, who owns a nightclub and also, Andreas, who runs a small gift shop, both men are completely different: like comparing day to night. Mia isn’t against a holiday romance and decides to leave things to fate although feels slightly strange having two men liking her at the same time. As Mia falls in love with Greece will she start to feel any sparks with either of her of her admirers?! Will she be heading back home tanned and happy with a thriving social media account but still very much single and needing to find herself a job after her redundancy or will Greece work some magic on Mia?!

This was a perfect summer read, and I really enjoyed the beautiful descriptions of Greece, so much so, that at times I felt like I was actually there. I liked Mia from page one, and I also liked the influencer angle, especially given it’s so on trend at the moment. Although there were a few times I wanted to shout at Mia when she questioned her instincts (but that’s probably because I am almost 20 years older than her and have more life experience with certain situations)- sorry this is a little cryptic, but this is a spoiler free review! I loved Lulu, Irene and Patsy, and thought the three women really did enhance Mia’s holiday which was lovely, but I liked how Mia also helped them all out too when they needed it, it was just such an amazing group of mutual support. I thought the ending was just perfect and exactly what I could have wished for Mia.

Overall, a lovely easy enjoyable read and I would definitely recommend this one for anyone who enjoys the romance genre. After reading this I can guarantee you will fall in love with Greece.

Thank you to NetGalley, Sue Roberts and Bookouture for my advanced reading copy. Out now.

Sue Roberts delivers another warm, escapist tale in Not My Greek Wedding, a delightful romantic comedy set against the breathtaking backdrop of Santorini. With its charming blend of friendship, heartache, and the promise of new beginnings, this story is perfect for readers who love their beach reads with equal parts humour and heart.

Mia’s journey begins at a low point—nursing a broken heart and heading to Greece for her best friend Tasha’s wedding, which just happens to be in the very location Mia once dreamed of having her own nuptials. But instead of wallowing in regret, Mia steps into her role as Maid of Honour with grace and determination, intent on creating a magical celebration for her friend.

Roberts captures the setting beautifully—from the whitewashed villas and azure waters to the bougainvillea-draped terraces and clinking glasses of ouzo. The Greek atmosphere is vibrant and immersive, almost like another character in the book. And then there’s Christos, the local heartthrob with a kind heart and a quiet strength, who might just help Mia see love through a new lens.

What really makes this book stand out is its focus on personal growth and letting go of the past. Mia’s transformation is believable and refreshing. She doesn’t jump headlong into a new romance to escape her pain; instead, she finds joy in the present, in friendship, and in rediscovering who she is. The chemistry between Mia and Christos is gentle and organic, adding just the right touch of romance without overpowering the story’s emotional depth.

Humorous mishaps—champagne accidents, awkward speeches, and enthusiastic Greek dancing—add levity, making the book feel like a perfect romcom movie in novel form. If you’ve ever had your heart broken and wondered if joy could find you again, Not My Greek Wedding will remind you that sometimes, the best love stories begin when you least expect them.


Charming, sun-soaked, and full of heart, Not My Greek Wedding is a celebration of friendship, healing, and the magic of unexpected love.

[Sarah · Rating 2 out of 5]

The author did a good job establishing who Mia was as a character at the beginning of the book, as well as her ambitions and recent roadblocks in life. That being said, I think there was TOO much emphasis on Mia being an influencer. It made her character feel incredibly shallow a lot of the time and the multiple mentions of her taking photos or posting content did become tiring. I also think she was really judgemental of others. Her opinion on Lulu’s children being needy felt irritating and hypocritical as Mia is in her late 20s and living at home with her parents pursuing a career as an influencer. Mia was also judgemental towards Christos while simultaneously lusting after him for his looks and money. While she does change her outlooks on life by the end of the book, this character development felt rather sudden. It was like she met Andreas and had an epiphany. I wish this was a subtle development that she had throughout the entire trip, rather than the last 2-3 days.

Regarding the side characters, I thought that Irene and Patsy were hilarious and they really made so many of the scenes for me. Their dialogue was witty and felt natural, I could genuinely see them being friends/cousins. I thought Andreas’ character was also really refreshing in this story, and we get a great amount of depth to his story as well. I really wish he was introduced earlier because I just don’t think we had enough time with him.

The ending was very sweet and I think it gives the reader enough to be satisfied. I do think that it would be helpful to show the time jump of about a month. The timeline in general was a bit confusing at times. Mia tells Andreas that she is there for couple more days, but is still in Greece about 4 days later.

The author did a really great job describing the setting of each scene and I really could picture Greece as Mia described. The biggest thing I have to note regarding the writing is that there is not enough dialogue throughout the story. The reader is told information that could easily be shown through dialogue between the main character and another character, for example names and relationships between characters. Another example is when Christos is talking to Mia at the club, there’s no dialogue here and the reader is just told it happened. This would have been a great time to somewhat establish that relationship and Christos’ character more.

There are moments that also end ambiguously, such as Lulu and Mia’s first coffee date in the book, or Mia’s dinner with her parents at the beginning. The conversations are left in limbo and it feels confusing.

My biggest concern about this book is that the description of the book was not at all accurate to the story. It grossly misrepresents what actually happens in the book. Mia is not at all reeling from a breakup with her ex-boyfriend - there is no mention in the book of them being engaged - and she states at one point that she is “happily single”. Additionally, the wedding is such a minor aspect of the plot and zero issues happen on the wedding day that Mia has to fix. She doesn’t even have to give a speech at the wedding as the maid of honour. The wedding also happens within the first 30% of the book. I really wish that more time was spent building up to the wedding, and at the wedding, because it felt like a great moment to show some deeper relationships between all of the characters. Christos is also barely involved in the wedding, and it’s when he is first introduced so we know very little about him. It really felt like the description was written prior to the entire book being completed and nothing was edited after to make it accurate to the completed story.

I think that the idea of this book is cute and would be perfect for a summer read, but I was really disappointed with the misrepresentation in the book summary. There are also edits that I feel could be made to really deepen the relationships between the characters, better the flow of the plot and develop the main characters storyline, but ensuring that the book is accurately presented to potential readers is very important.

3.5 rounded up: Mia has recently moved back in with her parents after a recent breakup and becoming redundant from her job. She is a social influencer, at least beginning to be one, and uses the time off and the little money she has traveling and posting pictures of places she has been and things she has done. When she gets an invitation to a wedding of her childhood BFF in Santorini, Greece, she is thrilled to accept. Fortunately for her, she helps out her grandmother and she is very generous to her. She invites a friend, Lulu, that she used to work with to be her plus one. The story shares all she sees and does in Santorini, as well as the wedding and her "dates" with two men she meets. I figured out something about them early in the story, but there is a bit of a surprise just before Mia heads home. There is some chemistry between Mia and the men, but nothing else happens. Mia is also trying to figure out what she really wants to do with her life, be a social influencer, or do something with her singing.

I enjoyed most of this story, but the beginning when Mia is faking a lot and always has her camera out trying to post things on her "socials" I did become a bit annoyed. I'm telling you that because it does get better, so hang in there. This is a lovely armchair travel story, where you get to see lots of things in the area, learn about food and activities, as well as the lovely scenery. When she meets Christo, described as a greek god, I knew he was a cad. He was only out for one thing and luckily Mia was smart enough not to fall for it. When she meets Andreas, they just seem to click. They are more on the same wavelength. I enjoyed how Mia spent time with her friend Tasha's aunts. It was a lovely multi-generational friendship. Getting the chance to sign karaoke rekindles Mia's love of singing and actually confuses her a bit about what she will do with her life. I am not a fan of social influencers, TikTok or really even instagram, so that part of the story was a miss for me, but I enjoyed seeing Mia grow a bit, and really decide what she wanted to do in her life. I also liked how she was a friend to others, loyal and willing to give up something she wanted in order to spend time with them. If you enjoy a good vacation story with a little bit of romance and lots of friendship, food, fun and activities, then I recommend you pick up Not My Greek Wedding.

Not My Greek Wedding is the latest slice of sun-drenched romantic escapism from best-selling author Sue Roberts.

Mia was meant to be in Santorini for the wedding of her dreams with the love of her life – unfortunately her fiancé had cheated on her, the wedding was called off and now she’s the maid of honour for her best friend Tasha’s nuptials in the venue of her dreams. Mia isn’t about to let her own romantic disappointments distract her from being there for her friend, however, she cannot help wishing that she was the one about to marry her Prince Charming. Only, little does Mia realise that Santorini might just end up leading her to her very own knight in shining armour: gorgeous Greek Christos…

Looking like he’s just stepped off the cover of a romance novel, Christos ignites feelings deep within Mia she never thought she would ever experience ever again. As the two of them find themselves getting closer and closer, will Mia and Christos find the happy ending they had long given up on under the sizzling Greek sun? Or will her love story in Greece end up having an unhappy ending for Mia?

Sue Roberts never fails to write fantastic romantic escapes that are the best thing to an exotic holiday and she’s done it again with Not My Greek Wedding. Fun, feel-good and fabulous, Not My Greek Wedding is a hilarious and heartfelt romantic comedy that will leave readers with a huge smile on their face and eager for the next uplifting page-turner from the immensely talented pen of Sue Roberts.

Mia, 28, has just received an invitation for her friend, Tasha’s wedding. Mia is to be the Maid of Honor and the wedding will be held on the beautiful Greek island of Santorini. She is thrilled. Lulu is a friend of Mia’s and is going as her plus one for the wedding as Mia recently broke up with her long time boyfriend.

Mia recently lost her job as the company is downsizing. So, while she looks for another job, she is relying on her efforts as a TikTok and Instagram Influencer. She has a good amount of followers and has received some freebies along the way when she gives good reviews on them.

Upon arrival, the guests are being housed in some apartments not far from where the wedding will be held. The apartments have been offered free for the guests. The wedding goes off well and all the guests enjoy themselves.

Mia and Lulu enjoy the sights and the food. Along with them are two other relatives of Mia’s and they all have lots of adventures. Mia is charmed by two Greek men that turn out to be brothers. However, they could not be more different. Mia’s talent of being a good singer finds her basking in the fun as people loved her on Karaoke nights,

This is a sweet book that shares the beauty of Santorini and the delicious food it has to offer. I enjoyed the camaraderie of Mia and her friends as they all experienced their adventures. It was nice to learn more about the island as I have only visited it briefly during a cruise. A lovely story. Enjoy!

Not My Greek Wedding by Sue Roberts was a beautifully written book from start to finish and I loved it especially as I love a good wedding book! This book was a wonderful romantic comedy which was set against the breathtaking backdrop of Greek island of Santorini,
Mia’ is excited, to have some sun on her face, drink cocktails by the pool, swim in the beautiful blue sea but most of all she was looking forward seeing her oldest friend Tasha from high school getting married and live happily ever after.

When Mia arrives at the resort she falls in love with the resort, especially as she notices someone walking round who has caught her eye. She finds out he is a guest and his name is Christos. He is walking around like a Greek god who has come to life. When they see each other there is a spark between them, Mia can’ not get involved with him! she has to remember this is only a holiday! Until she finds out his family owns the venue.

Oh Mia!!!!

Will she open her heart to Christos?

She has to make sure Tasha's day is the best day of her life. . . Nothing can go wrong!

But, there is a record-breaking heatwave on the way on the Island. The ceremony space is unsheltered from the midday heat, But, Mia and Christos must come up with a quick fix. Or Tasha might not be able to walk down the aisle in the dress of her dreams.

Now, could she even start her own new love story in Greece?

Not My Greek Wedding. . . . was a Breath f Fresh air, a beautiful read from start to finish.

My Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for the eARC of this book. The opinions stated here are solely my own.

Synopsis:
Mia is a 28 year-old aspiring social media influencer who has just been made redundant and is living at home. Her childhood BFF, Tasha, is having a destination wedding in Santorini and Mia could really use this sunny getaway. While participating in all the wedding festivities, Mia meets two very different Greek men, Christos and Andreas. Could one of them be something more than just a holiday romance? And could Mia find more than just love in Santorini?

Opinion:
I thought this was a very cute and quick romance read. I liked Mia as a main character, as well the 'sweet aunties' who made for fun sidekicks on her journey. To be honest, I was looking for a bit more depth of story and some parts of it felt very repetitive in description and writing phrases. I always love a Mediterranean setting though, so all in all I enjoyed this book.

Not My Greek Wedding is a feel-good, fun, romcom about a woman named Mia who is on holiday in Santorini at her best friends wedding. Mia has no current employment but does have a mid-size social media presence and is trying to make a career out of it. When she fly’s to her best friends wedding, she sees old friends, makes new friends and possibly some love interests. I really liked Mia’s character - she was unsure of where is was going in life and that can be scary when you are in your late 20’s. I really want to know more about what happens next - I hope it’s a series!

I really enjoyed this book. It was sweet - and it’s hard to say that about a book with out it being boring, and this was not boring. Sue Roberts is great at describing the landscape and feeling of Greece - I want to now take many holidays there! And I also want to read more Sue Roberts!

A deliciously evocative, sun-drenched, cocktail filled gentle romance.

Mia is at a loose end on the employment front. Recently made redundant she's trying to make something of her tiktok sideline rather than take up another dead-end job that isn't what she wants. She's always had an idea that she'd be "famous" for something but never seems to invest enough time into her signing or her social media to make that leap to fame.

Her best-friends destination wedding in Santorini opens up an opportunity to get some sunshine, some new b-roll footage and reviews for her tiktok. She shanghaies her friend and former colleague to come as her plus one and they set off for a sunshine break. On their arrival they soon find themselves scooped up into the friendly arms of new friends and old. And a handsome Greek man may be another slice of happiness that's opening to her.

Mia and the gang are a hoot and they lurch from disaster to heartfelt moments. The descriptions of Santorini are so evocative and you can't help but feel you are right there with them. I must admit Mia took a while for me to warm up to, she just came over as so shallow at first. But as the story develops we see such more of her rise to the surface. I loved the way she stuck to her guns and wasn't just bowled over by attention from a rich playboy and kept herself open to other friendships.

Not My Greek Wedding was an okay read for me. I couldn’t like or care about the main character, Mia, as she came across as a one-dimensional character more focused on her online persona and all the freebies she’s getting (or hopes to) by being an influencer.

I’m not going to nitpick over the story. I’ll simply say that, unfortunately, this one wasn’t for me, although I’m sure there is an audience that would enjoy it.

Really enjoyable summer beach read! I will admit I struggled at first, felt it took some getting into and found the character a little hard to relate to. Once it gets going, you start to see the character's charm and I love her relationship with her grandma! Good to see the character starting to explore her talents and finding herself again. I enjoyed the story once I got into it and very much the type of book you can enjoy with a pina colada on a beach somewhere (or it makes you wish that's where you are)

Not my Greek Wedding is the latest novel from Sue Roberts. It’s the perfect escapist beach read as we join Mia who is heading to Santorini for her friend’s wedding. It’s a tale of friendships, new adventures and love all set against the stunning back drop of the Greek islands. From the descriptions you can almost feel the warmth of the sun, hear the sound of the wave and taste the delicious food. A fabulous beach read that will entertain you.

Mia is trying to make it a social influencer but she also has a set of pipes that she isn’t utilizing.
She travels to Greece for a friend’s wedding and explores new opportunities.

I always want to jump into Roberts’ scrumptious covers!
Two things I can always count on in her books: a handsome man and a gorgeous backdrop.
I do wonder if she has poster size pictures of all of her covers??

This book unfortunately didn't land for me. Mia, the main character, came across extremely self absorbed and didn’t seem to have much character depth beyond her drive to become a social media star. Although the writing was vivid and descriptive, the plot itself felt thin and hard to stay invested in. Still, if you're after a light, effortless read to enjoy on a summer vacation, this might be just what you are looking for.

*Thank you to Sue Roberts and Bookouture for the ARC copy. I am freely leaving my honest review.

What a brilliant read this proved to be
With new choices, new chances and places to see.
A friend getting married on Santorini
Results in surprises as readers soon see.

Meeting old friends and others who are new
Exploring the island, lots of things to do.
With even a possible romance or two
And decisions to make before all is through.

I really enjoyed this brilliant read
And hope it proves the next book you need!
For my copy of this book I say thank you
As I share with you this my honest review!

A book set in Greece, sign me up please! Sue does a fantastic job making it feel like I’m right there on the beaches of Greece. I love the descriptions of the Greek dancing (one of my favorite parts of my culture) and all the Greek food.

Mia’s life has had a lot of downs lately, but a trip to her childhood best friend’s destination wedding could make all the difference. Is a wedding fling exactly what she needs?

I will definitely be picking up more of Sue’s books, especially if she sets them in Greece again.

Thank you NetGalley and Bookouture for my copy of this book.

This was such a great story. I loved the twist about who people were to each other. I wish we would have seen if she did get a happily ever after although the ending was great. I love that she was a social media influencer and slowly realizing that not everything has to be shared or posted. Great story with some amazing characters.

The main character was just so difficult to relate to or like. Just so very immature and the dialogue and inner dialogue was hard to enjoy. Despite the beautiful setting this one wasn't for me.

Full disclosure - I received a copy of the book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review

Santorini sunshine and fun!

A lovely story set in one of the prettiest places in the world! I enjoyed Mia’s story of taking a chance in life and love. The characters were all interesting and the story was sweet.
