Summary

Sometimes the best holidays are the ones you least expect....

After a very long and turbulent year, Sarah is dreaming of the five-star getaway her sister has booked them on. White sands, cocktails, massages, the Caribbean is calling to them. But as the sisters turn up to white sands, beach shacks, a compost toilet and outdoor shower, Sarah is sure there's been a mix-up. And there has.... At the last-minute, Amy decided a conservation project would be much more fun than a resort.

So now Sarah's battling mosquitoes, trying to stomach fish soup and pray for a swift escape. Life on a desert island though isn't all doom and gloom. They're at one with nature, learning about each other and Sarah might just have caught the eye of the dishy, yet incredibly moody, island leader.

Really hard going

Performance great but story so hard going. Found it boring and dull although set in extraordinary settings. Was hard to even finish the book

NOT MY CUPPA TEA😒🙄 2 Stars

The author Samantha Tonge must have researched all animals and insects living in The Rainforest, the Jungle and on an island.

I listened to half of the book yet it just got more dull, it just didn't ho!d my interest.
I RARELY give up on any book but this was painstakingly boring as I felt it wasn't a light hearted romcom Chicklit listen but more like a nature documentary.

The blind rescue chimp "Chatty" sounded sweet. This really is not my cuppa tea at all.

Harrie Dobby did her job as narrator well but I stil! Can NOT recommend this listen!

I am relieved that I didn't waste a credit on this book as it was FREE to listen too through the Plus Catalogue included membership.
