When a double-booking at a remote one-room cabin accidentally throws two solace seekers together, it feels like a cruel twist of fate. But what if its fate of a different kind? A perfectly executed and quintessential romantic comedy.Christina Lauren, author of The Unhoneymooners Spending her thirtieth birthday alone is not what dating columnist Cleo Wilder wanted, but she plans a solo retreatat the insistence of her bossin the name of re-energizing herself and adding a new perspective to her column. The remote Irish island shes booked is a far cry from London, but at least its a chance to hunker down in a luxury cabin and indulge in some self-care while she figures out the next steps in her love life and her career. Mack Sullivan is also looking forward to some time to himself. With his life in Boston deteriorating in ways he cant bring himself to acknowledge, his soul-searching has brought him to the same Irish island to explore his roots and find some clarity. Unfortunately, a mix-up with the bookings means both have reserved the same one-room hideaway on exactly the same dates. Instantly at odds, Cleo and Mack dont know how theyre going to manage until the next weekly ferry arrives. But as the days go by, they no longer seem to mind each others company quite as much as they thought they would. Written with Josie Silvers signature charm, One Night on the Island explores the meaning of home, the joys of escape, and how the things we think we want are never the things we really need.
