Publisher's summary

Romantic comedy with heart, perfect for fans of Sophie Kinsella, Lindsey Kelk and Mhairi McFarlane.

Jess, a 29-year-old Londoner with a Kate Beckett fringe and a tendency for dramatics, gets taken on a surprise trip by her long-term boyfriend, Pete, to attend her best friend’s last-minute wedding in South Africa. Jess imagines sun, sand, wine and safaris. And returning to London with an ethically mined diamond on her left hand...

But this holiday isn’t set to be quite the fairy tale Jess has planned. Suddenly she finds her world tilting on its axis, and things are only set to get worse when Jess returns home....

Catherine Bennetto is back with her trademark wit and an equally hilarious cast of characters who will have you rooting for them from the first minute.

Great Chick- Lit!

As far as the genre goes, it doesn’t get any better than this.
Lovely story about family and romantic love with Bennetto’s trademark wit.
Narration was near perfect.
And the setting in Cape Town was, for me, a unique journey

Loved this

This book had me laughing out loud and teary eyed at work. I’m sure my coworkers thought I was loosing it. It was funny, quirky, smart, sad and sexy. Great story.
I think the narrator did a great job I enjoyed listening to the many tones of her voice. I felt like she conveyed the emotions right off the pages into her voice to the listener.
Give it a try maybe you’ll love it like I did or maybe you won’t.

Unusual Read.

This book was very different to ones I normally read. But very good overall. The main characters manic rambling had me wanting to give up at times. Glad I decided to persevere!

Look for the abridged version

If given the option to choose, choose the shorter version. Other than that, great story! Worth it!

Fun getaway with great people

The characters were fun and interesting, and there were several plot twists I didn't see coming. It felt like a mini-vaca in South Africa, which is a great getaway in December.

Fun and quirky

I enjoyed this story. Fun travel stuff about what Cape Town SA is like, especially for the young and fit. Main character is hysterically funny, as is her mom.
