Publisher's Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

One woman. One island. A bookshop in need of revival....

Jenny has never been a risk taker. But when her best friend takes off on an American road trip, Jenny finds herself saying yes to a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity of her own and accepts the role of a bookseller in the Maldives.

The island of Bounty Cove Cay is everything she'd hoped for: white sandy beaches, glistening turquoise waters and palm trees bursting with coconuts. But it's not all plain sailing....

The resort bookshop is far from thriving and, in an unexpected twist, management are threatening closure.

Can Jenny throw her rulebook to the wind and turn things around before it's too late? And might she find her own happy ending along the way?

Looking for your next beach story? Look no further! Escape with The Holiday Bookshop, perfect for fans of Jo Thomas, Phillipa Ashley and Jenny Colgan....

Could have been better

I liked Jenny's storyline but could live without Maryanne's. it just felt like too much going on without much actually happening at all and I feel that it slowed down the story.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
