In fact, you should be reading this somewhere hot and sunny &#8211; or, failing that create your own summer escape. (Which the wonderful <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebooktaster.com\/\">Book Taster<\/a> helped us do this month with all our lovely goodies).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyway, back to the book. This book was a great read for the summer break. Annie&#8217;s wedding is called off &#8211; as she arrives at the church. For some, this could be the end of everything but, for Annie, it becomes a whole new adventure, because she takes her honeymoon anyway &#8211; with another man. On her Australian adventure, she takes the chance to re-evaluate life, and realise maybe it was all a lucky escape &#8211; and should she be following another path?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a light-hearted read with a big message. Maybe we do need to remember sometimes that we do not have to follow the path that society makes us feel we have to &#8211; I mean, afterall, one size does not fit all. But, also, you do not have to stick to the plans you have made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I just found this book an enjoyable read and almost like a little holiday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking forward to hearing all the book clubbers share their thoughts &#8211; and if they all want to rush off to Australia too?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What a perfect summer read &#8211; I mean, I know you should not judge a book by its cover, but this book cover certainly says &#8216;perfect summer read&#8217;.
