My Review

I read this book because I'm a sucker for exotic locations and Sicily sounded the perfect escape. Surprisingly, I enjoyed the description of Skye just as much, which has to be testament to the author's skill.

I felt a part of Ruby's journey as she is forced to hide away, having become a social pariah thanks to internet trolls. This also provides a bit of mystery as she tries to find out who is behind the campaign to discredit her.

I loved the juxtaposition of pertinent social commentary and the light humour when Ruby leaves a note for the owner of the villa, with hilarious consequences.

A romance book with a dollop of mystery and fun yet with a serious message for today.
