This is a romantic novel packed with colour, humour, drama and complicated characters. I have never been to Peru but Amy Matthews’ vivid descriptions have brought it to life in ways I wouldn’t have imagined. Before ascending the Inca trail, a Wonder of the world, there are glorious beaches and beautiful towns and villages, the perfect setting for this lovely story.
Bon, Sandra and Heather are a grandmother, daughter and granddaughter. Grandmother Bon believes the three of them need to spend some time together. She believes Sandra, her daughter, needs to stop depending on Heather to lift her out of her misery; Heather, in the meantime, also has the added weight of trying to end a relationship with a man who is not willing to let her go. Bon herself has recently lost the husband with whom she had been hoping to spend the rest of her life and is dealing as well with lots of memories.
Bon presents Sandra and Heather with a proposal that the three of them should walk the Inca trail. She has booked and paid for luxury accommodation and private guides and she is not taking no for an answer. Bon’s main aim is to get Sandra to let go of her philandering ex-husband and start living again, although Bon’s plan for Sandra to try being a cougar may not go down well! In the meantime, Sandra’s attempts to interfere in Heather’s life cause a whole new set of problems.
After reading this vivid story I am going to look for Amy Matthew’s Someone Else’s Bucket List. It is always exciting to find another talented author. Thank you NetGalley for my arc.
