Someone Else's Honeymoon by Phoebe MacLeod Review

Someone Else's Honeymoon review

I volunteered to write a review for this novel as part of Boldwood Books blog tour. This review is completely my own opinion though.

Blurb:

When Charley finds herself suddenly single on Christmas Day it feels like her world has fallen apart.

Forced to move back in with her parents, she embarks on a journey of re-invention. When she meets Ed, who is on honeymoon alone after being jilted at the altar by a bride he's never met, it looks like her life may be taking a turn for the better.

Fate, however, has other ideas, and she and Ed are forced apart.

Will she find her way back to him, or are they just not meant to be?

My Review

Reading Someone Else's Honeymoon was a refreshing change in pace from drama and romance fuelled novels I've grown accustomed to reading.

Charley goes through a big life change, leading to a journey of self discovery and acceptance of how she had grown compliant in her unhealthy relationship. 

I enjoyed this self-discovery as sometimes heroines become shells of their former selves. Charley did the opposite of this. Her new relationship with Ed was product of her self-care and self-respect.

Another aspect of the novel I enjoyed was Charley's relationship with her parents. It appears common that book characters have fractured or non-existent relationships with their parents. I can't relate to this as I'm close with mine so seeing the respect Charley had for her mum and dad was really lovely to read. They acknowledged and respect her difficult times and although they were never keen on her ex, Josh, they allowed the relationship to play out in its own way, however hard that may have been.

MacLeod's book had the right amount of spice for the setting and although I read lots of romance, including very sexual novels, I found this had the perfect balance of plot, character development and sexual description.

This was my first book by Phoebe and I really enjoyed it.

Thanks so much to Boldwood for the opportunity to read and review this ebook.
