What a gorgeous, summery read by Jenny Oliver. This cover is so beautiful, it's definitely one of the reasons I wanted to read this story - as well as the name! It just makes you feel so warm inside just by looking at it! I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

One of the main things I enjoyed was getting to know the mix of friends that arrive to help Libby get her hotel (and The Sunshine and Biscotti Club) back on track. I loved the descriptions of each character and you really got a lovely feel of their friendships. Another thing I adored and made me long for a summer holiday of my own was the way Jenny described the hotel and the surroundings, the lake, the bar - and the lemons!

The story does alternate between the three female friends of the group - Libby, Evie and Jessica. Each very different in their own way but each fighting their own sort of personal battle. Along the way we learn more about the ladies and in turn come to realise exactly why they are like they are. This book had everything you want from a chick lit book - romance, laughter, friendship and more!

Overall, a very sunshiney enjoyable read. Would definitely recommend for a read by the pool this summer!
