I'm always so, so excited when I know Mandy Baggot is going to release a new summer novel. I absolutely adore them. They make me feel so warm and fuzzy inside and have me longing for a bit of Greek weather and of course Greek food! The cover for Mandy's newest novel, One Last Greek Summer, automatically has you longing for some sun, cocktails and fun!  I love the many colourful flowers, the bright blue sky, the traditional white washed buildings and it gives you a bit of an insight as to what the characters look like too. The whole cover is just really inviting and I couldn't wait to get stuck in. This novel was absolutely brilliant and has just made me love Mandy's novels even more.

 The novel started out with Beth walking into work to her divorce party, there was a few willy balloons mentioned so it started off with brilliant humour! As the story goes on we learn that Beth has just separated from her husband Charles, who is also the CEO of the company she works for, due to him cheating on her with a co-worker. However, along the way we learn the reasons behind the relationship and they are so sad and emotional! I really feel for Beth and what she had been through, she came across as such a strong woman but also quite vulnerable.

The story develops into best friend Heidi convincing Beth to take a holiday to Corfu, where they had been once before when they were twenty-one. On this particular holiday, Beth met handsome Greek Alex and had quite a relationship with him, Beth had never quite managed to forget him, nor him her. It's all very romantic when they meet by chance and recognise each other straight away but also a little slower than Mandy's other novels. However, I was really loving this storyline due to the addition to Heidi, her character was so bubbly and happy and I loved reading about her time with Beth. It was great to read about some of the country and the food and drink!

Overall, I really, really loved this novel. If I could rate higher than 5 stars then I would! It's really enjoyable, lighthearted and will have you wishing for Summer! Thank you to the publisher for a chance to read this novel via Netgalley, which I have reviewed honestly.
