Readers familiar with Quinn's previous two books, may find this story somewhat similar. Though the storylines are completely different, the heroines in all the books share certain qualities, rely on certain phrases, have certain views on life. The stories always have various twists and turns (some predictable, some much less so), and there's always a smattering of Yiddish slang thrown in for good measure. That said, I really enjoyed this book and thought it was fresh and new, even with the same basic formula beneath it. it is a fabulous read, light-hearted and funny, with some hilarious twists. It's a really nice feel-good book that is perfect for summer, though you might want to take some other titles with you on any planned holiday since you'll finish this one so quickly in an effort to find out what happens at the end – who gets the guy, who gets the cheque, and who gets sent directly to jail.
For another delicious look at the Med, you might enjoy [[The Gypsy Tearoom by Nicky Pellegrino|The Gypsy Tearoom]] or the brilliant [[Tell Me Something by Adele Parks|Tell Me Something]].
