panThis just did not flow as well Ehrenreich's other books. Her attempt to show death's inevitability, and explain why it's not in our nature to accept it nearly bored me to death. But I did get two bingos!

pickIt has to be said, Sophie Kinsella is one of my favourite authors of all time when I need a palate Sophie writes characters that you instantly bond with and form a genuine affection for, which is truly a gift to be able to do in every book she writes. I loved the concept of people struggling with burnout going to their favourite childhood happy places to seek solace- a delightful read ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
so-soSasha takes a break away from work and life in London. She returns to the seaside resort she loved as a child, determined to reset her batteries and find peace.
Only the hotel is now off season and crumbling to pieces. She has to share the beach and hotel with a grumpy man who has his own issues to deal with.
I felt the plot was quite static and not a lot happened. The characters were eccentric and the hotel couldn‘t function in real life. 3🌟

Weekend reading. I‘ve been a big fan of Sophie Kinsella so I‘m hoping this one is just as good as her other books. 📚💕
so-soWanted to love this more than I did. It was readable enough, the characters endearing enough, and the concept engaging enough. But it was also slow, and there was a bit too much going on. If Kinsella had stuck to the “burnout” concept, mined it a bit more deeply, and shaved 100 pages off this, it would have fired better for me.
