Many thanks to NetGalley and Random House/Ballantine Books for gifting me a digital ARC of the latest novel by a favorite, Josie Silver - 5 stars!
Cleo is a dating columnist in London, single, and about to turn 30 when her boss decides that she needs to celebrate her birthday by self-coupling, topped off with a ceremony on her birthday. Part of Cleo is on board with the idea of embracing her single hood but part still wishes for someone special. Her boss books her into a cabin on a remote Ireland island. But Mack, newly arrived from the US and seeking time to reconnect with his roots and figure out his family issues, is also booked into the same cottage. It's trouble from the start.
This is another fabulous read by Josie Silver - I absolutely loved it! She is so good at creating characters that feel so real and ones you can't help rooting for. There were a whole cast of such characters in this book, and it was so wonderful to see the whole island coming together for to support each other. The island setting and descriptions added so much to the story as well. I was unsure how the author could bring this book to a satisfying ending, but it more than met my expectations. Don't miss this one!
