Yet again I have chosen a Fiona Gibson novel as one of my personal picks of the month. I love a fabulous romance, always have. Fiona Gibson has the gift of letting you take a flight of fancy while feeling grounded and at home. Here, Lauren and James meet while on holiday and have the most perfectly romantic time. When they get back to the UK, things aren’t as beautifully easy as they would have hoped, as into the mix comes their children, family, work, and life in general. The chapters are headed by different characters, short and snappy the individual stories run into and around each other, blending into a whole. There are a number of different relationships in play during this tale, Charlie and Esther who are breaking ground as young adults, add a particular zesty note to proceedings. I love the journey each of them takes, this really is an ensemble piece. While the importance of family (however it is made), and love sits centre stage, it’s clear that the upheaval and reality of life is treated with respect and empathy. A truly lovely relationship story, The Man I Met on Holiday makes for juicy, sweet, and addictive reading.

The Man I Met on Holiday Synopsis
Is he just a summer fling? Or the one she’s been waiting for…
How Lauren thought her summer holiday would go: Priceless mother-son memories of swimming and sunshine before Charlie leaves for university.
How things actually are, now they’re here: Charlie refusing to speak to her, locked in a darkened room in their Corsican cottage, and a creeping sense of dread contemplating the rest of her life alone.
Although Charlie has decided that holidays with Mum are now deeply uncool, Lauren is determined not to waste this trip. Then she meets James, who was supposed to be holidaying with his daughter but is now, like her, unexpectedly flying solo.
Lauren is soon sneaking away for romantic dinners under the stars. Instead of the end of something, she hopes this could be a new beginning.
But what happens when Lauren and James pick up their emotional baggage back home? And what will their kids make of their mid-life rom com in the making?
A hilarious and heart-warming tale of second chance love, perfect for fans of Sophie Kinsella, Kristen Bailey and Jill Mansell.
