Review by Booklist Review

Godfrey is back with another thirtysomething female protagonist who has lost her job and her boyfriend, much like the heroine in her debut, the women-centered A Very Typical Family (2022). Amelia Lang, fed up with her needy mom and disappointing life, takes an extended trip to Europe and in the last leg of her three-month trip ends up at a dilapidated Greek hotel that changes her life. She meets James, an attractive American guest, and sparks fly. The hotel proprietor, Takis, spies them together and invites them to a Greek wedding, and they somehow end up getting married themselves. Things get even more complicated when Takis dies and bequeaths the hotel to them. Not wanting to abandon incoming guests slated to arrive, James and Amelia scramble to accommodate hotel guests as they learn more about each other, the close-knit island community, and their complex arrangement as co-owners and newlyweds. As long as readers are able to suspend disbelief in some of the more far-fetched scenarios, there's plenty to enjoy in this decidedly escapist fare.
