Person on the next sun lounger: *worst nightmare*

Chronically single Kate is winning at life. She's finally saved enough to live alone in her dream home, she has a great group of friends, and she has - at last - perfected the ultimate chocolate cake. So what if her love life is dead on arrival? Forget sex, she can make a sponge that would blow your socks off.

Aside from her romantic dry spell (is it still a 'spell' if it's been years...?!), everything is going according to plan. But when she finds out one of her oldest friends Andy is travelling abroad and needs her help, she knows she'll have to drop everything and fly out to him.

Only problem is, Daniel, the mutual friend she blames for Andy's wild lifestyle, is coming with her. It's the first holiday abroad she's been able to afford in years, and she has to spend it with him?!

But when Daniel and Kate arrive, they soon find themselves having the unexpected romantic holiday of a lifetime. Swimming in crystal clear waters, sharing delicious meals and exploring beautiful local villages... It would all be perfect, if only they weren't with each other.

And as the days pass, and more than one waiter mistakes her and Daniel for a honeymooning couple, Kate has to remind herself that there's a reason she stayed single all these years. But as she sips her dry Martini and watches Daniel's toned body dive into the pool, she wonders if it's possible to have the perfect holiday with a man you hate... Or if maybe Daniel isn't so bad after all?

A feel-good, feisty and fabulous romantic comedy, perfect for anyone who has ever found themselves in a love-hate relationship. Fans of Emily Henry and Sophie Kinsella will love this laugh-out-loud, snort-inducing read.
