Gina Bennett has had enough after her husband of twenty-seven years lets her down one time too many. Deciding to choose herself, she embarks on a transformative solo journey to break free from the monotony of her life.
She escapes to the gorgeous Greek island of Kalosiros, where she holidayed in her youth, and where she had her first romance with the handsome Nico. Encountering two kindred spirits in Rosie and Deedee, the women bond over art classes and cocktails, renewing their lust for life and a shared quest to find Gina's lost love.
Together, they navigate the challenges of middle-age, self-discovery, and the liberating power of skinny-dipping. Will Gina find love again with her teenage sweetheart Nico, her husband, or with someone new?
Bring Me Sunshine is the latest book by Alex Brown and she takes us back to her feel good rom com that first introduced us to this author.
With cracks in their marriage Gina and husband Colin are due to go on a long awaited holiday to Greece but at the last minute Colin declares he is unable to go due to work commitments little did he expect that Gina would decide to still go on the holiday without him!
Gina finds herself wrapped up in happy cherished memories of her youth and with the help of her two new friend Deedee and Rosie she is on a mission to reconnect with her first love.
This is perfect easy holiday reading which I have devoured in a matter of hours as I lay around the pool. With a Shirley Valentine vibe to the storyline this book is full of friendship, rediscovering youth and a touch of romance too wrapped up in a number of witty moments thanks to Gina and her friends.
This certainly had an appealing setting for a holiday read with the glorious sunkissed Greek setting and mouth-watering delights on offer.
Although a light and uplifting read this book also does explore toxic relationships too and shows the power of a strong supportive friendship in these situations. It shows us that as we grow older and we begin to doubt ourselves and put ourselves down there is always time to find that fire in your belly and know that your still that same girl inside it's time to let her out to play!
I have enjoyed all of Alex Brown’s previous books but I definitely prefer her lighter romance coms as they are pure escapism with lashing of hope and humour which is what I loved in this book.
