A Greek island holiday. A fake-dating pact. A chance at true love?
After losing her job as a book scout, hopeless romantic Evie needs a
fresh start. So when she hears that her eccentric grandmother has just taken on
a small bookshop in Santorini, Evie jumps at the chance to visit her.
But life on the island is not as idyllic as it first seems. Gran has a
tempestuous relationship with her landlord and he’s threatening to take the
bookshop away from her. So when Gran asks Evie to fake a romance with her
landlord’s Greek God of a grandson, Georgios, to keep the family on side, she
reluctantly agrees.
As the sun sets on Evie’s Greek holiday, can she save the bookshop – and
fake date her way to love?

My Review:
Sunshine, books, a dreamy love interest? What more could any book lover need – Summer at the Santorini Bookshop is a brilliant way of escaping the not-so-great weather here.
Rebecca Raisin always gives us a great read, brilliant
characters and excellent settings and this one couldn’t sound more idyllic. I
loved the descriptions of the bookshop, the characters are funny but also
relatable in many ways. The bookshop sounds like my perfect holiday destination!
Evie suddenly finds herself at a loose end when she loses
her job and so is sent to keep an eye on her Gran, who is on husband number nine
and a cause for concern (to Evie’s Mum and sister). Evie finds herself in quite
the situation as soon as she arrives and is determined to do all it takes to
support her Gran – even if that means getting close to Georgios (the landlords
grandson).
With some ups and downs, can Evie keep her Grans antics from her Mum as well as
make the bookshop a success and keep Georgios onside whilst also figuring out
what she actually wants to do next.
There are some really funny moments, the man with the
donkey, the rescue dogs, the subtle hints about what happens to each husband.
Funny, heartwarming and entertaining. Perfect read for this summer,
whether on a glorious beach or from a comfy chair!
