As a way of clearing the palate from Christmas reads, I opted for a rom-com book set firmly in the sunshine. This one features our main character going on her honeymoon alone and getting tangled up with various romantic threads including a famous film star, and the inevitable reappearance of her almost-husband. This was easy to read, funny and friendly with good characters and interesting twists and turns along the way. I quite liked that Lila was a romance fiction author so there were elements of book within books and plot within plots. And it was a happy ending, so hooray for the final book of the year.

At first, I thought the premise of this was going to be unbelievable. Win some random money on a TV contest and go searching for an ex-boyfriend. But actually, when you read it, everything seems entirely possible, and whilst some of the decisions are a bit odd, they also absolutely could happen. It’s a nice journey of self-discovery more than anything, and somehow by visiting the past Rosie can start looking to the future.
