Beschreibung

Sasha has had it. She cannot bring herself to respond to another inane, “urgent” (but obviously not at all urgent) email or participate in the corporate employee joyfulness program. She hasn’t seen her friends in months. Sex? Seems like a lot of effort. Even cooking dinner takes far too much planning. Sasha has hit a wall.

Armed with good intentions to drink kale smoothies, try yoga, and find peace, she heads to the seaside resort she loved as a child. But it’s the off season, the hotel is in a dilapidated shambles, and she has to share the beach with the only other a grumpy guy named Finn, who seems as stressed as Sasha. How can she commune with nature when he’s sitting on her favorite rock, watching her? Nor can they agree on how best to alleviate their burnout ( manifesting, wild swimming; drinking whisky, getting pizza delivered to the beach).

When curious messages, seemingly addressed to Sasha and Finn, begin to appear on the beach, the two are forced to talk—about everything. How did they get so burned out? Can either of them remember something they used to love? (Answer: surfing!) And the question they try and fail to ignore: what does the energy between them—flaring even in the face of their bone-deep exhaustion—signify?

Blurb Sasha is well and truly over it all: work (all-consuming), friendships (on the back burner), sex-life (non-existent). Sasha has hit a brick wall. Armed with good intentions - to drink kale smoothies, try yoga and find solitude - she heads to the Devon resort she loved as a child. But it's off-season, the hotel is falling apart, and now she has to share the beach with someone else: a grumpy, stressed-out guy called Finn. How can she commune with nature when he's sitting on a rock, watching her? Especially when they don't agree on burnout cures. (Sasha: manifesting, wild swimming, secret Mars bars; Finn: drinking whisky.) But when curious messages start appearing on the beach, Sasha and Finn are forced to begin talking - about everything. What's the mystery? Why are they both burned out? What exactly is 'manifesting', anyway? They might discover that they have more in common than they think ...

Süße Sommerlektüre

Ein etwas erwachsenerer Kinsella Roman. Die Protagonistin war anfangs eher nervig und anstrengend und wurde im laufe der Geschichte immer sympathischer und liebenswerter. Eine schöne romantische und herzerwärmende kurzweilige Geschichte mit Happy End, auch wenn sie sehr vorhersehbar war hatte ich viel Freude beim lesen 💕 Liebsten Zitate: „You are never failing, you are learning“ „The ride is it“ (Terry)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Irgendwie hat das Buch mich genau zur richtigen Zeit erwischt. Die Erzählung von Sasha sind so greifbar und real, dazu aber auch lustig und liebenswert. Erst hatte ich Angst, dass Sophie Kinsella das Thema Burnout Hops nimmt, aber nein. Ich liebte das Setting (parallel suche ich mir mein eigenes Refugium, in dem ich meine 20 steps to a better me verfolgen kann 😄), die Charaktere (marry me Finn 🔥) und das allgemeine Tempo der Geschichte. Es war erwachsen und kindliche Freude zu gleich. Ich habe ab mehreren Stellen wirklich lachen müssen, was nicht häufig passiert. Wirklich eine große Empfehlung für eine schöne Geschichte. ❤️

Liked the first 1/4 quite a lot. It went a little down from there. The sensible parting at the train was also good but the rest of the story with Terry, the messages and the artist just felt off.
