Synopsis/Blurb: Sophie Sturgeon can't wait for her annual summer holiday. Not only will it be a week away from work, it will be a chance to reconnect with her boyfriend Callum. So this upcoming trip to Majorca is a big deal. Sophie's spent a lot of time getting ready. She's bought a new wardrobe. She's been waxed to within an inch of her life. She's determined she and Callum will have the best time ever. Then Callum dumps her, the night before they're due to leave. In a show of bravery and independence, Sophie says she'll go to Majorca alone - but in fact, she hides in her London flat. But when her friends, family, and even Callum seem so surprised and delighted at her single girl courage, Sophie decides to go all out and recreate the ultimate 'fake break' . . . with hilarious results.
 To begin the book is very sad as Sophie has just had her heart kind of ripped out by her boyfriend the night before they are ment to go on holiday together, but as you read on you learn a lot about each character and you start to feel for each and every one of them. You get to understand how hurt Sophie really is and what she will do to be happy again. I did think the beach party in her back yard was a bit strange, but I bet it would have been great fun. I really enjoyed this book as whilst I was reading this I was in Majorca myself on holiday for two weeks. This book mentioned parts of Majorca I where I had been or things I had wanted to do, which made me enjoy this book much better as I could relate to it. Was written in 1st person as far as I can remember, I gave my copy to a friend as she thought it sounded good. I thought it was a great book but not one I think I would sit down and read again.
