Island life is just one step away…
A new start…
Bella and Andy have escaped the rat race for the sun-drenched, relaxed lifestyle on the island of Ibiza. But with a run-down house to make habitable and a distractingly gorgeous neighbour, is their island idyll all that it seems?

A holiday adventure…
Tamara Gold has been Hollywood’s most notorious car crash since she was a child star. Now clean and sober, and engaged to Tinseltown’s hottest leading man, it seems like she’s finally conquered her addictions, if not her bratty behaviour. But a summer in Europe with all the hedonistic lures of Ibiza beckons…

A girl called Summer…
Summer Larsson has always known Ibiza as home: a haven of hippies, yoga and healthy eating – and loneliness. But in Bella, she’s found the friend she always needed, and when Bella’s glamorous Hollywood friends come to visit, it looks like she might have found true love as well…

This could be the summer that everything changes…

I think this book is better read in summer time. It just makes me want to go to Ibiza now. It's a simple book, but i did find there to be so many characters, it was hard at times remembering who was who. Their background and stories. And everyone seemed to know each other.

Theres a lot of detail of the island which makes it sound really awesome to go to, i've never been. But parts of the story seemed way OTT and so extreme.

Also, some of the explicit nature at times, wasn't what i was expecting. Made me giggle then cringe in parts as it just didn't seem this kinda book. I was thinking more cute, girly summer read.

Favourite character was probably summer, typically. She's just sweet, kinda, blond and great. I even like Tamara, even her diva-ness times.

Read it with an open mind, it is a good book.
