When Nell loses the promotion she’s spent years working towards, it’s bad enough. But when it goes to her glamorous sister Ava – who then helps orchestrate Nell’s entire team being made redundant – it’s the final straw. Humiliated, heartbroken and in full-scale emotional meltdown, Nell does the only sensible thing: she flees to Spain.

Her escape plan involves a wellness retreat, a complete reinvention and absolutely no more people-pleasing. Unfortunately, the retreat turns out to be a caffeine-and-wifi-free spiritual bootcamp fuelled by sticks for breakfast, tree hugging and enforced emotional honesty. Worse still, Nell keeps running into Oliver – a super-hot, kind stranger who witnessed her airport breakdown, accidentally got detained by armed police alongside her, and now seems impossible to avoid.

As Nell scrambles to fake her way into a new career as a life coach while hiding a growing mountain of lies, she begins to question if she’s spent her entire life trying to please everyone except herself.

My Thoughts:

Nell’s life is going well until it is not, years she has spent working towards a promotion at work but she is piped at the last post by her sister of all people. She knows she needs to run but where to, Spain is the answer to a wellness retreat but even getting there has proved a task and a half. Though she has met Mr Hot, who funnily enough happens to be going to the same place as Nell. Oh God could the ground just swallow her up. Is there more to Mr Hot than meets the eye, could he be the excitement Nell needs in her life. I was looking forward to reading this book, it sounded amusing but unfortunately for me it fell short, I found it a bit cringe in places and I did not find it amusing as much as I hoped. The story was quite drawn out and I felt did not seem to go anywhere. It is not an author I would pick up again.

I received an ARC copy of this book for an honest review.
