‘Unashamedly romantic, funny and touching’ MY WEEKLY

‘A sunny burst of escapist romance’ THE SUN

Travel agent, Hester Monday, has been keeping a secret …

Thanks to her fear of flying, she hasn’t been on a plane in years. Now Hester wants to make a good impression on her newest client, Jake Oakenfield, who was heroically injured saving an old lady, and is now laid up in a luxury hotel.

For Jake, unable to return to New York, binge watching Netflix just won’t do. He wants Hester to invent the ultimate escape and re-create her most magical holidays abroad from the confines of his hotel room.

As their perfect mini-breaks around the globe take on a life of their own, Hester wonders if her world of make-believe is all starting to feel just a little too real…

Ok but if an interesting title but he will be the memory from the book. You will understand when you read it. Which you will, won’t you

Seriously this was a wonderful listen. And yes I will listen again. Which for me is unusual it’s not often I read or listen to a novel twice.
