An ideal beach book, easy to follow and an unchallenging plot. If you like romance then you'll love it as it has romance in bucket loads, loves lost, won and happy endings. Some of the descriptions are beautifully written though and her characters are all very pleasant.
It was all a little too twee and predicatble for me though, and the romances between Grace & Rufus, and Trixie & Jasper a little too intense given that they hadn't spent much time together.
Would I choose another Santa Montefore, I'm not sure.
The narration was a little irritating in parts too, the accents were a bit corny.
