Book Review: The Second Chance Hotel by Sierra Godfrey
A Review of The Second Chance Hotel by Sierra Godfrey ⋇⋆✦⋆⋇
Escape to The Second Chance Hotel by Sierra Godfrey, where heartwarming transformations and unexpected romance await at a charming inn that's all about fresh starts and rediscovering joy!
Plot:
It's all fun and games until you accidentally marry a stranger in Greece and inherit a hotel.
Amelia Lang's life is kind of a mess. She's stuck living at home with her narcissistic mother. Her tech bro ex-boyfriend deliberately sabotages her at work, and she gets fired after throwing a mug at his head (it's okay! She missed.) Then she has a major falling out with her best friend. So Amelia does what Amelia does best: She runs away.
After traveling around Europe for three months, she settles on a small Greek island to reset her life and figure out what's next. But after too much retsina, she gets tricked into marrying James, another guest at the hotel, who is perfectly nice―but perfectly boring. To top it off, they are gifted the very hotel they're staying in―a hotel they don't want that is in desperate need of some TLC. They agree to keep the hotel open through the busy summer season for the sake of the island's quirky but well-meaning residents, after which Amelia plans to return home to start rebuilding her disastrous life.
Amelia and James must work together to determine how to get out of their situation―easier said than done for Amelia, who's started to feel a strong spark of attraction for James. But Amelia is sure her real life is waiting for her back in San Francisco. Is it time for Amelia to return home or could this be the second chance at a new life she didn't know she wanted?
Review:
★★★✰☆
To start out this review, I want to be completely honest. I chose this book based on the cover, something I find myself doing quite frequently. I read the plot and decided to give the book a chance, and I'm pretty happy I did.
I will say one thing, I wasn't very fond of Amelia, the main character. At the beginning of the book, Amelia gets fired from her job (because she threw a mug at her HORRIBLE ex-boyfriend's head) and decides to book a 3-month trip to Europe the same day.
At first, I understood why Amelia wanted to leave. She had just been fired, broken up with, and forced to move back in with her narcissistic and unhappily married parents. However, Amelia is the maid of honor in her best friend's wedding, which in three weeks. Like any normal best friend, I would not have gotten on that plan, but selfishly, Amelia does. She ruins her friendship simply to avoid facing her other problems.
When she ends up in Greece, she meets James, a nerdy (but very handsome) man who works in finance. After a drunken night (and a little bit of uneasy tension), the "happy" couple is accidentally married. Oh, and they own a hotel. In Greece. On a small island. With nothing around them.
There's lots of unexpected friendships, language barriers that result in hilarious mistakes, and second chances.
If you like books with forced proximity, accidental marriages, and hotel hijinks, The Second Chance Hotel is the perfect book for you!
