Belinda Jones, chick lit favourite, has penned another globe-trotting beach-friendly read.
Twenty years ago Selena Smith saw Shirley Valentine and developed a chronic phobia of having a plate of egg and chips shoved in her lap by an ungrateful husband. Since then she's successfully avoided becoming a lost housewife by relentlessly travelling the world as an excursions rep on a luxury crusieship.
But with her 36th birthday approaching she finds herself experiencing a strange sensation - how can she be homesick when she has no home? And why has she agreed to spend a week on a Greek island with one of the ship's most notorious womanisers? (Amazon)
Out Of The Blue is published 25 September. I may have to book a late-package-deal somewhere hot and sunny as the perfect complement to this novel... Well, a girl can dream!
