Five old friends. Two new partners. One big problem... In Erin's beachfront home in Ireland, I blink at my former best friends and laugh. Is it awkward we haven't seen each other in ten years and nobody really knows why? Yes. So I pull out the champagne with a flourish and start blasting our old playlist. It's a reunion weekend, after all... But it's not long before my determination to have fun starts to fizzle. Perhaps inviting new partners was a mistake. I'm already exhausted by Becky's new girlfriend, and Beth's husband is trying too hard with the compliments. No, I'm not trying out a "cool silver highlights" look. It's a grey hair. Still, at least the others have partners. The most exciting romantic development I can report is a quick flirt with a handsome stranger on the plane over. Even flighty, non-committal Tara is bringing someone. But if that wasn't surprising enough, I could never have anticipated Tara's 'someone' would be the man from my flight. If things weren't already awkward, they certainly are now... The weekend was meant to finally bring us all back together. But will this reunion only push us further apart? A hilarious and uplifting page-turner about the power (and pitfalls) of friendship and romance. Fans of rom-coms by Sophie Kinsella, Marian Keyes and Mhairi McFarlane will devour this laugh-out-loud tale. What readers are saying about Joanna Bolouri: 'The perfect summer read...

A stunning Scottish castle, a tall dark stranger, and a vow to stay single happily ever after... What could go wrong? Nora Brown is totally happy single. The men in her life have all been selfish, cheating liars and being alone is far easier than risking a broken heart again - for her and for her daughter. She's only going to Romance Reboot - a posh 'singles' bootcamp' at a castle in the Scottish Highlands - to keep her sister quiet. But surrounded by tumbling waterfalls and sweet birdsong, Nora can't deny she's starting to relax. Even better, she finds another guest with no intention of finding love. Will Thomson has dark tousled hair, a sly grin, and a shocking sense of humour. Everybody else hears their laughter and thinks they're falling for one another, but Nora knows she's safe - he's just here on a research trip. Determined to ignore the spark between them, Nora agrees to be Will's cover, fending off other suitors with private sniggers over wine and quite convincing public displays of affection. Just when she starts to question if she might be missing something important, she starts to suspect Will might be hiding something from her. Will is just another cheater-in-the-making like all the others, isn't he? Nora will go home to her daughter happy and single, just like she always intended. Even if she could find out the truth about him, she isn't interested... is she? An absolutely hilarious, totally unputdownable romantic comedy from a bestselling author. Perfect for fans of Sophie Kinsella, Sorry Not Sorry and Marian Keyes. What readers are saying about Joanna Bolouri: 'OH MY GOD, THIS WAS SO SOOOO GOOD, GET A COPY AND START READING IMMEDIATELY... brilliant, fresh, hilarious read... THIS is the funniest, wittiest book I've EVER read! Fantastic book you don't want to miss out on!' Goodreads reviewer, ¿¿¿¿¿ 'My god, I was in seventh heaven when I got started. This was everything I wanted and much, much more... Hysterically funny and a great romance story.' Goodreads reviewer, ¿¿¿¿¿'This has to be one of the funniest novels I have read. I spent the majority of it laughing until I cried. It was hilarious, endearing, at times cringe-worthy in an "OMG how could she say/do that?" kind of way, filled with fabulously real characters and incredibly unusual and yet entirely believable situations... 'un-put-down-able' this is a corker of a novel.' Goodreads reviewer, ¿¿¿¿¿
