About this listen

Eleanor Blake, distraught after breaking up with her fiancé Will, decides to do what most would scarcely dare: Secretly follow him to the island hideaway where he's on holiday with the woman who took her place. But on the shimmering, sun-drenched Sicilian island of Panarea, distractions come in many forms and her fellow hotel guests Lewis and Frannie may not be all they seem either.

Read like a tourist brochure

Sappy main character, no conflict, way too much geographical description. very disappointing read. Hard to believe it was published

Panarea

The first 3/4 or the book was entertaining. Then it went down hill. It seemed like the author was tired of writing and just wanted to get it over with. The narrator was really good.

Uninteresting

No real plot just a bunch of intertwined events that didn’t lead to much. Rushed ending left me disappointed but since the characters weren’t very engaging it didn’t really matter. Glad the book was free ( included with membership)

Kept my interest

I enjoyed the story but felt rushed at the end and not as mysterious and believable . But I did enjoy and would probably listen to another novel by this author . Narration was very good.
