Falling in Honey cover

I came here looking for some kind of happiness. I think it might be the cleverest thing I have ever done.

One heartbroken winter, Jennifer decides to act on her dream of moving to a tiny Greek island - because life is too short not to reach out for what makes us happy.

Funny, romantic and full of surprising twists, Falling in Honey is a story about relationships, tzatziki, adventures, swimming, Greek dancing, starfish... and a bumpy but beautiful journey into Mediterranean sunshine.

It's genuinely the kind of book anyone interested in Greece would enjoy. * EuGREEKA Newsletter *
Jennifer never expected to find love when she followed her dream... love was the last thing she was looking for... Her remarkable story, about which she has written a moving book, has more than an echo of Shirley Valentine about it. * The Daily Express *
Made me want to run away to a Greek island. * Helena Frith Powell *
So, pack the guidebook AND pack these excellent memoirs of settling on Tilos, which brings this tiny island off Rhodes to incredible life... So much information oozes out of the book... Jennifer is like a breath of fresh air with her belief that it is possible to 'take action to make life better' ... The book is a total delight... Greece literally jumps off the pages and introduces you to the island in a more intimate way than perhaps a guidebook can. * Tripfiction.com *
This book will make you laugh and cry and laugh again. I didn't want it to end... * Emma Woolf *
This inspiring true story made us laugh and cry. [Awarded five out of five stars] * Heat *
Unlucky in love? If you can't escape to an idyllic Greek island Falling in Honey is the next best thing. * John Mole *
What makes Falling in Honey so gripping is the clear adoration that Jennifer feels for the country she now calls home. Through exquisite descriptions and very honest revelations soon she's not the only one falling head over heels. One way ticket to Greece anyone? * Wanderlust *
Your story is an inspiration. You take us through the extreme ups and downs of your life to help us understand how love and a relationship can be with a place, not necessarily a person. * leavingcairo.com Blog *
