Short
Summary of the book:
When Ginger Knox gives in to her best friend’s
demands to come to a New Year’s Eve party, she doesn’t realise her life is to
change forever. She meets a hunky guy who woes her and moves her from Sydney,
Australia to the UK. She is engaged to Henry and set for a great life ahead.
That is until she finds him in their bed with
his PA. Ginger breaks off the engagement, leaves and sets up life on her own in
a strange city, finding a new job and role in life. When she finds some good
friends, one of them even sets her up with a complete stranger. And that is
when life changes completely.
What
I liked about the book:
This is a feel-good novel with romance where
not everything goes smoothly.
What
I didn’t like about the book:
This is just a personal view: I didn’t like
the * insert eye roll here * bits in the book. But this is an entirely personal
preference and I know there will be people who absolutely love it.
My
favourite bits in the book:
When Ginger slapped the ex-wife.
My
least favourite bits in the book:
The book was enjoyable in its entirety.
Any
further books in the series? Any more planned by this author?
I’m not aware of other books by this author.
What
books could this be compared to and why?
This romance novel is entering into a new genre
with its self-deprecating inner monologues. There isn’t any other book like it
I have read so far.

Description by Author:
Ginger Knox thought she was living her best
rom-com life. She had the job, the apartment in Notting Hill (adjacent), and an
honest to God Hemsworth clone for a fiancé, but when she arrived home one
surprisingly sunny February afternoon to catch her man with his tighty whitey’s
around his ankles and his secretary *insert eye roll here* in their bed, the
tenuous facade of her life dissolved in a split second.
It was time for Ginger to become the leading
lady in her own love life.
And that’s just what she planned to do until
her life is, once again, thrown into disarray when her flight home for
Christmas was grounded. Suddenly she’s stranded in Istanbul, Turkey, with the
man of her dreams. Of course, it’s the same man she had the near one-night
stand with – and who knew he was one of the most famous men in Turkey!
Between Sydney, London and Istanbul, Ginger
was resigned to the fact that she may never get her Happily Ever After, but
what about her Happily Right Now?
