What to expect
A laugh-out-loud, sun-soaked romantic comedy full of mishaps, mayhem and margaritas ☀️🍹
'Hilarious' Jenny Colgan
The perfect beach read for fans of Sophie Kinsella, Lindsey Kelk and Olivia Spring
She never expected to find herself in Benidorm. But when life gives you lemons, add a shot of tequila...
Connie’s singing career isn’t exactly going to plan. On a final warning from her agent and failing every big audition, she’s desperate for a fresh start. So when she lands a last-minute gig in Benidorm (of all places) she jumps at the chance – despite knowing she’s completely out of her depth.
Thrown into the wild world of the Dollz, a cocktail-fuelled girl group who love glitter as much as they love drama, Connie struggles to fit in. Then there’s Matteo – the brooding, annoyingly attractive local who seems to be everywhere she turns, throwing her further off course.
As she stumbles through a week of sun, surprises and absolute chaos, Connie has to decide: is this rock bottom, or can she find her own way to shine?
A hilarious, feel-good novel about finding your confidence, chasing your dreams, and embracing the unexpected.
