Helen, Caro and Kay are women of a certain age who fly off to Cyprus for a holiday.
Being a massive fan of the film ‘Shirley Valentine’, I expected to absolutely love this book, but it didn’t quite hit the mark.
It was an easy enough read however, I found that I didn’t relate to the characters and if I’m honest I found two out the three ladies quite unlikeable. I won’t be rushing to read the next book in the series.

Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher, and of course the author for allowing me to read this ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

Dealing in stereotypes and author couldn’t even bother doing research on how menopause actually works.

It’s like Shirley Valentine crossed with Bridget Jones 🤷🏻‍♀️
