She was always my favourite—if I saw one of her books, I was grabbing it straight away! I just absolutely love reading her romance, I used to read every book two or three times over. How do you feel now that people are going to be buying your book and reading it? Samantha blushed. They know. They all know. Every single person at Gate B12, every pasty, bleary-eyed traveller, knew that she was that sad, sorry girl on her way to a wedding without a date.

But at the very last minute he cancelled the trip, preferring to throw away an all-expenses-paid holiday in the Caribbean to travelling with her. What could she say? These things happened. Surely, they’d understand.
And don't get me started with that one sex seen. I didn't necessarily want or needed smut but it felt too PG.

It was meant to be the holiday of a lifetime for Samantha: the launch of her travel blog, her best friend’s wedding and – hopefully – her own marriage proposal. Until she finds herself on her way to Tobago – single.

Let me preface this with the fact that I didn’t totally hate this book, but it also felt like a dumpster fire I couldn’t look away from.
