Some Like It Greek: A Completely Laugh-out-loud Romantic Comedy

Nicola Sarah Brooks

Poor Anna has had a bit of time of it lately. Her father passed away, she's lost her job and now she has to try and sell their family home. All whilst dealing with her snippy, social climbing sister. 

She finds hints at her fathers travelbug past and decides to follow his footsteps and try to unearth the details of a trip he made to Greece before marrying her mum. Enter the most unlikely travel buddies, Anna and OAP Demi. Demi hasn't been back to Greece after a family mystery and she has decided now is the time to face them. 

There are lots of strong female relationships of various types in the book, Anna and her bestie Roz, Anna and her sister Liz, and Anna and Demi. Lots of long-held secrets and tragedy's to uncover along the way. The travelogue if brilliant with scenery and food descriptions. Having read this during COVID-19 lockdown and having my own holiday in Greece cancelled, this was just the injection of sunshine I needed.

Joel is a backstabbing asshat! The ex-boyfriend from hell. I really loved the way he was sidelined, he was never a major part of the book, just as he deserved! Dara is just the kind of romantic, mysterious, enigmatic stranger Anna needed. He injected a bit of passion in her life that she was sadly lacking and even though the whole money thing was bit over the top, I still enjoyed meeting him and his involvement in the plot.
