‘As Luck Would Have It’ – by Zoe May

I couldn’t put this book down and managed to devour it in just one day! A perfectly hilarious summer read if what you’re wanting is something fast paced, easy, funny and fabulous.

At thirty-two, Nat finds herself living back at her mother’s house, but this time as a single mum! She is still running a successful PR business, albeit from her childhood bedroom. After winning a dream holiday she is mortified to find out she must go with her high school sweetheart who broke her heart! They arrive at their destination only to discover they’re staying in the honeymoon sweet and must pretend to be married through their entire trip.

The obvious awkward moments (having to get naked together for one!) had me cringing, and possibly blushing wondering how I would feel in that situation! Especially as, like Nat, I too am the same age having given birth in the not too distant past, so bodily insecurities are a definite issue anyway, never mind in front of someone you fancy!

This is the first book of Zoe’s I have read, but it will not be the last 🙂

Synopsis

Natalie Jackson might keep up appearances on Instagram, but in reality her fiancé has just jilted her after the birth of their baby and she’s moved back in with her mum. Life isn’t exactly going to plan!

So when she enters the village raffle for the holiday of a lifetime, she thinks she has no chance of winning. But her name is pulled out – and, as luck would have it, so is a ticket bought by her childhood nemesis: Will Brimble.

Surely a romantic holiday for two is the worst idea ever…right?
