A feel good, funny and well written book. I read it in 2 days and enjoyed every second! Frankie Collins writes such funny, dry characters and I felt like I was hanging out with friends.
Lila Rose is a romance author feeling a little lacking in romantic inspiration - mainly because her crappy fiancee ruins their wedding day and she ends up going on her honeymoon alone.
But what a holiday it is! Feeling lonesome on the most romantic Italian island ever, Lila ends up in a 'fake relationship' with the only other singleton on the island - an actor trying to keep a low profile.

I really loved these characters, there was so much going on and it didn't end up being predictable at all! Would definitely recommend. The only downside it that now I'm desperate for a luxurious summer holiday like the one Lila's on! Excellent beach read.

What a great debut! I felt like it was a little long and wordy but I did enjoy it a lot.
Also, Freddie was tooooo perfect. Like ZERO flaws. It seems so unrealistic to the rest of the characters.
I don’t think Daniel or Eva got what they deserve. Why would Lila stay around them?
I don’t want to post spoilers so please just give it a read.

The second I saw the cover and title for this book I suspected strongly that I would love it. I was just so intrigued, who is going on a honeymoon by themselves, and based on the gorgeous colours just what hot and exotic honeymoon destination is it!

Well those questions are all answered within the first couple of chapters, so i can easily say that Lila, an hour or so before getting married to Daniel, over hears him talking to one of her friends and it is clear they have been having an affair. In her rush to get away, she decides to go on honeymoon by herself as after all its been paid for.

Well the destination would be been perfect for a honeymoon, not so much for a single person. It is an island resort called San Valentino in Italy, and its catered purely for couples - including the spa treatments and the bicycles. It sounds idyllic but not that fabulous for someone trying to get over their recent betrayal.

I took to Freddie on our first meeting of him, and my opinion of this rather sexy man improved scene after scene, and it was clear even if Lila couldn't work out what was going on, that I was definitely falling for the man!

There are so many moments that had me giggling and smiling throughout this book, and everything ramps up a great when there are some assorted extra people at the resort that Lila was really not expecting to see, which leads to some even more memorable scenarios.

Honeymoon For One really is a perfect summer escape sort of a book, it transported me to San Valentino, to some excellent Italian food, a large number of porn star martinis, and some simply wonderful scenes. I enjoyed every last moment of this book.

If you are a fan of Portia MacIntosh you will 100% enjoy this book too!!

Thank you to Boldwood Book and Netgalley for this copy which i have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.

On the morning of her wedding, Lila finds out that her fiance is cheating on her, so she runs away, deciding to go on the honeymoon on her own. Unfortunately this is to an island desitnation very much aimed at couples. While she is there she meets Freddie, the only other person there on his own. She doesn't know who he is, which is a refreshing change for him, and they quickly start to spend more time together, especially when he ex and his new girlfriend also turn up on the island.
What will happen when it is time for the honeymoon to be over?
