The Island of Dreams by Helen McGinn

-
Martha is the youngest daughter, coming home for her sister's wedding. She doesn't like her fiance one bit but decides not to say anything. Then he hits on her and tries to convince her sister that it was all her.

The wedding gets canceled and they turn it into a big party instead. Her sister convinces her to go on what was supposed to be her honeymoon alone, as a chance to do something new and get out of the rut she has been in ever since she canceled her wedding years before.

The trip doesn't start all that well at first, but soon the Greek island starts to work its magic on her, and she falls for it and the single father living there. The life there is much different from what she has been living and the change doesn't feel so bad at all. She has her freedom, has fun, and learns to enjoy her life again.

It's a lovely story of getting a fresh start and learning to live again. I liked the story, but for some reason couldn't get into it.

You know that feeling when you read a great book and someone asks you what it is about, but nothing comes to mind, except it's sooo good, you have to read it ? Wish Upon a Streaming Star is that kind of a book. It's hilarious with seriously witty bickering, romantic (that Dirty Dancing lift... omg), but also manages to pull at every one of your heartstrings- there is one scene where I cried my eyes out along with the characters. Caz and Dizzy are next-door neighbors. They have been best friends since forever, until the start of the Senior year, when something happened and they have been avoiding each other ever since. Caz is a very famous YouTuber. He started his video as a way to deal with the grief of losing a father, and it ballooned into something big, but it also changed everything, and not all in a good way. Dizzy is trying to keep her life together. The family business is failing and her mother's cancer, it's a lot to put on one girl's shoulder. She has spent...

Naomi and Luca grew up on opposite sides of the country. In the 5th grade, they became pen pals for a school assignment and never stopped writing to each other, until 2 years ago, when the letters stopped. But the letters weren't sweet or heartfelt, they were filled with hate and mean words, and they always tried to outdo each other in their insults. Slowly, over time, underneath all those jabs, a friendship developed. Naomi works at the TV station as a weathergirl. And then she received a new letter at work, from Luca, but without his new address. She and her friend go on a whole adventure to find him, flying across the country, and finding more about his life along the way. At the same time, the cute neighbour asks her out and they start to date. There is this insane chemistry between them, but her heart is torn between two guys. It's so so good! I couldn't put it down. It's funny, sweet and heartfelt all at the same time... and there are many steamy scenes too! :) Hi...

rating ❤❤❤ ❤ ❤ cover ❤ ❤ ❤ He is her brother's best friend and her biggest enemy. He insulted her when they first met and it has just gone downhill from there. Each encounter is filled with insults and pranks that get worse each time. It all escalated when he came to a Christmas holiday with her brother. There is mad tension between them, shifting from hate to attraction. The romance is fast, and steamy. There is mad tension between them and sparks just fly. Once I started reading it, I couldn't stop, it's so addicting! It's light, fun, and full of chemistry and pranks. :) Goodreads  //  Amazon happy reading, anie
