What’s it
all about?
The Moonlight Hotel sits on the shore of England’s best-loved
lake, Windermere, exuding vintage glamour.
Lauren loves the hotel, for hidden inside its faded walls is the
key to her most precious memories. So, along with her best friends, Cate and
Emily, she signs up to a new dance class in its gorgeous ballroom. They aren’t
going for the men, they’re going for a laugh – although a little romance
wouldn’t hurt . . .
But then a chain of events off the dance floor
puts their friendship to the ultimate test, and makes Lauren question
everything she holds dear.
Put on your dancing shoes and escape to The Moonlight Hotel, for
Jane’s funniest and most poignant novel yet…
What did I think?
Hooray for Jane Costello! An author
who is always guaranteed to write a book that puts a smile on my face and a
spring in my step! Summer Nights at the Moonlight Hotel is no exception to
that. With a gorgeous cover that screams pick me up and devour me, that’s exactly
what I did!
Ever watched Strictly Come Dancing
and wanted to learn to dance like they do? Ever wanted to to escape men and
have laugh with your girlfriends? If so Lauren is the girl for you to meet.
Things haven’t worked out quite as she had hoped, and she is sworn off men. She
wants to inject more fun into her life while she plans her next moves and so
signs up for salsa lessons at a local hotel. The hotel has just been bought by
a property developer and things may be changing a lot which is hard for Lauren
as her Dad used to work there and it holds lots of sentimentality for her.
Cue fun, shenanigans and a touch of
romance thrown into the mix. This book has a bit of it all, as well as being
deeper than just a ‘feel good’ easy read. Don’t get me wrong, it is still both
of those, but it feels more than that, and shows the importance of friends, and
of dreams.
As you would expect from Jane
Costello, the book is well written with characters who develop along with the
plot, and made me want to become friends with them also. It makes you laugh,
smile, feel like the world is good, and that life can be great fun. The book is
more than just the story of Lauren and her exploits, we also find out more
about her friends and what is going on in their lives that add another depth
and dimension to the book.
A fab read that I would highly recommend.
I will definitely be looking out for her new work along with any of her older
books I have yet to read.
