September 23, 2016I was disappointed as the main character let me down. I waited for the twist in the tale which took ages to come.... and when it did , I was more upset than she was. she got over things so easily and it was so quick to find a second partner who was perfect. ironically they went to the same place she went to with her first....and she enjoyed it and lived happily ever after. a read so light.....you cannot even grasp it.

Kind of shallow with too long a back history and no actual substance.

The storyline was good and the characters likeable I couldn't get my nose out of it. If anything critical was the actual way it was written hard to explain.. but still I enjoyed it

Not convinced the author has visited Spain. Seems to have an obsession with giving us details about food.

Didn’t really enjoy the way Kate writes. It was all ‘she did this and then they……..’
It was ok but glad to finish it.

Some chapters were good some were slow paced, a lot of food mentions. Easy read for holiday time.
