This book is a perfect “beach read”. The story was light and enjoyable and it provided great escapism.
It felt a bit slow at the beginning, then it picked up the pace in the central part of the story becoming a page-turner. I truly enjoyed the honeymoon part and it was so well-structured. Plus, there were some funny scenes that made me giggle a lot. However, the last part of the book was less captivating and I got a bit frustrated with the main character, Annie. 
Overall, I liked Annie’s development from being a people pleaser to a more independent person that is finally able to say what she wants.

I recommend the book to anyone looking for an easy read that allows you to immerse yourself in a dreamy holiday in Australia.

Thank you NetGalley and Avon Books UK for providing me a digital copy in exchange for an honest review.
