Today I am sharing with you my review of this brilliant new release from Zoe May. Thank you to Rachel's Random Resources for inviting me to join the tour, and for my copy of the ebook in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.
Book Description
Rachel Watson has it all worked out. By 30, she’s ticked off most of the goals on her Life List. She’s a homeowner, a partner at her law firm, she has a gorgeous boyfriend, lots of hobbies and loads of good friends. The only thing that’s missing is a ring on her finger.
According to her Life List, Rachel should be getting hitched around now, so when her boyfriend, Paul, plans a romantic date, Rachel’s pretty confident he’s going to propose. Except Paul has other ideas. He’s jetting off to India to find himself.
Distraught, Rachel doesn’t know what to do. Not one to easily admit defeat, she embarks on a mission to win him back.
Flying solo to India is definitely not on Rachel’s Life List, but could her trip teach her some unexpected lessons about love, life and herself? Could she realise that perhaps her Life List wasn’t exactly what she wanted, after all?
My Review
This is such a brilliant and witty new release from Zoe May. I was absorbed from the first page to the last, and could not put it down.
Rachel Watson is excited as she believes tonight is going to be the night that her boyfriend Paul is going to propose. This is all part of the life plan that Rachel has listed out. She has has her life all mapped out from her home, to her career as a partner in a law firm, to her hobbies.
So when at the romantic meal that Paul has planned Rachel is shocked when Paul drops the bombshell that he is heading off to India alone to find himself and he is breaking up with Rachel.
Rachel is gutted. This was not part of her plan at all.
Rachel is adamant that Paul is the man she wants to spend her life with so she adapts her plan, and with the help of her best friend she heads off to India to win Paul back.
This plan really does take Rachel out of her comfort zone. Flying Solo to India was never part of her plan but Rachel is willing to do whatever it takes to win back Paul and get her life list back on track.
What follows is the adventure that Rachel has in India at the retreat looking for Paul.
She experiences so much while she is there and this makes her learn more about herself. Does she really need Paul to complete her life and will she be stronger on her own.
This is certainly going to be an adventure she will never forget.
I loved this book from beginning to end.
The writing style of this book flows well and I enjoyed how witty and fun the book was to read.
The setting of the book in India sounds idyllic. I really loved the setting of the retreat as it sounds like the perfect place to get away from it all.
Rachel was an interesting character. As the story progresses it becomes clear why she feels the need to have a list and have so many goals in life. At first when she arrives at the retreat she is shocked by the basic accommodation and the lack of Wifi. But it is great to see her relax and make the most of the retreat while she is there.
She meets some amazing people while she is in India and they all have an impact on her future.
This is the perfect read for some escapism to another culture and the opportunity to get an insight into life in the retreat.
This is by far my favourite release from Zoe May.
