I really enjoyed reading this book and now I really want to travel to Corfu!
Penny decides to spend a month in Corfu as it had been the dream for her and her father for as long as she could remember. After her father passed, and a bad break-up she decided that it was now or never. Penny's month was filled with friendships, romances and unexpected revelations. She found her true self and was surprised that it was someone she actually liked.
This book was heartwarming and real. I loved going through Penny's journey with her and reading about the backstories of some of the other islanders.
I did knock off a star because I found the constant recounting of the Durrells themselves a bit boring and felt that it didn't add much to the storyline. Although I understand the significance of it to Penny and her journey, I found myself cringing at the character whenever she mentioned them and trying to skip over bits where they were mentioned.
Overall a good book and would potentially read again.
