After previously watching the ITV comedy-drama about The Durrells I was extremely interested in reading this book but regrettably, after reading such, it is not for me. Not wanting to spoil anything in the book I'll try to keep it vague and just personal opinion with no spoilers.

As I went on I found, personally, it dragged on a lot, nevertheless, it is an easy read and perfect for someone wanting to wind down at the end of the day.

The author has written some amazing descriptions of Corfu that I absolutely felt like I was there, however, the other parts came across as rather boring to me.
I do not have a problem with reading romance genres but I wasn't expecting it with this specific book so once it started going more in the romance territory I started to switch off, as I was expecting more than just romance and amazing descriptions of the views.

Fairly often I had put it down, and I found myself not being inclined to pick it back up. I did lose interest quite a few times but I wanted to continue on and finish it.

To me, it is definitely a romance novel, and I'd recommend it if you're a fan of romance and/or Mills and boon but not so much The Durrells
