**********

Faye has just completed her degree in interior design when she finds herself jobless and boyfriend-less. While debating what to do next she receives a surprise phone call from her old college friend Charlotte who now lives in Sardinia and is married to Italian hotelier, Fabio.

When Charlotte suggests that Faye relocate for a month to house-sit, Faye wonders if a summer break in sunny Sardinia might be the perfect way to recharge her batteries and think about her future.

But then Charlotte tells Faye that there's something more behind the sudden invitation: her friends Marisa and Alessandro are looking for a designer to renovate a crumbling old theatre they own in the scenic village of Deriu.

The idea certainly sounds appealing to Faye, but little does she know what she's letting herself in for if she accepts this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity . . .

Goodreads review by Rachel on February 23, 2017

4.5 Stars I'm not entirely sure whether I fell for the town of Deriu in Sardinia first, or the Little Theatre By The Sea, for within the very early part of the book both found their way into my heart to stay. I found so much to love in this book, from the various secrets that were being hidden, to th......more

Goodreads review by Katie on May 01, 2017

This was OK but not amazing. At times the characters really annoyed me, I just wanted them to stop being so secretive although at the end I guess it made sense. I actually preferred the sub plot of Molly and Ade and I couldn't really warm to Faye that much, she was a bit one dimensional.......more
