Follow your yellow brick road ….
Alice Dorothy Matthews is on the road to paradise! She’s sold her house in London, got rid of her nasty ex and arranged her move to Portugal where friendship and romance awaits. All that’s left to do is find a place to call home.
But Alice’s dreams are called into question when complications with friends, work and new relationships make her Portuguese paradise feel far too much like reality.
Will Alice’s dream of a new home in the sun come true?
My review
We are very very briefly in London but soon we arrive in sunny Portugal together with Alice and her boyfriend.
Although last time she came for a holiday, this time she can call the village home. It feel good because all her troubles are behind her and she can see her bright sunny future. Unfortunately this is about to go awry…
Alice has changed in the first book, but she is going to need the new Alice in order to deal with everything that is thrown her way. It’s nice to have friends that support you, but in the end it’s all up to you.
The author has also added funny situations and what is a feel good book without a good dose of love either between family, friends or partners?
Alice really goes for what she want and can you blame her?
A lovely, sunny summer story that I liked a lot. 4 stars.
Thank you, Chris Penhall and Ruby Fiction
