☀️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 date 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?

So bad

The narrator was terrible but maybe the writing was so bad, she had no chance at making it better. Repetitive and infantile language (how many times can someone believably say “golly”?)…and worst of all, boring. Don’t bother.
