#BookReview ~ Girls Just Want To Have Sun by Jo Lyons ~ #Romance @J0Lyons @rararesources @BoldwoodBooks


Girls Just Want to Have Sun

She never expected to find herself in Benidorm. But when life gives you lemons, add a shot of tequila...


About the Book:

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?


My Review:

Girls Just Want to Have Sun is a fun romcom with great main characters and very lively sidekicks. Connie is down on her luck and a tour with the Dollz is her last chance to stay musically employed. She's shocked to find her tour mates are loud, wild, inconsiderate, and selfish. The exact opposite of Connie. What is supposed to be a 7-day concert tour turns into a huge mess and Connie is a ball of anxiety. Connie is certain her career is over. 

If you can get past Connie being a bit of a pushover and the Dollz being the ones to do the pushing, you'll enjoy this breezy, summer read. It's not complicated, is easy to follow, and has you rooting for Connie and Matteo. They get along as well as oil and water at the beginning but fate tosses them into each other's paths - quite literally.

If you're looking for an entertaining beach read, add Girls Just Want to Have Sun to your list.
