I wasn’t sure what to expect of this book because it was the first time I’d read anything by Georgia， and had her firmly in my head as an influencer （and I’m a Celeb winner） rather than author， but I was pleasantly surprised and really enjoyed Meet me in Hawaii。 It’s chick lit through and through - female protagonist who falls for a good guy but fights it in self protection。 That said， I thought the inclusion of a male character with arguably more vulnerability， who was ultimately the ‘chaser’， I wasn’t sure what to expect of this book because it was the first time I’d read anything by Georgia， and had her firmly in my head as an influencer （and I’m a Celeb winner） rather than author， but I was pleasantly surprised and really enjoyed Meet me in Hawaii。 It’s chick lit through and through - female protagonist who falls for a good guy but fights it in self protection。 That said， I thought the inclusion of a male character with arguably more vulnerability， who was ultimately the ‘chaser’， made a refreshing change from the typical male/female dynamic in chick lit at large。 The Hawaii setting placed it as a firm feel good beach read， and actually was a refreshing choice with a lot of the action focusing around Malie’s surf school （another nice touch in ever so slightly subverting the female character stereotypes）。 Overall， this was an easy and enjoyable read that I’d recommend for some summer escapism。 My only criticism is that it did get mildly frustrating when they *still* hadn’t got together yet （about 4/5ths of the way through） and I found myself eye rolling and wondering when I’d get my closure， but thankfully I wasn’t disappointed in the end！ 。。。more

I've had this book sat on my TBR for way too long and I'm so glad I finally made the decision to read this series， especially after enjoying Meet Me in London quite as much as I did。In this book we meet Malie， one of the four girls that this series is based on， who has relocated to working for her uncle's surf school in Hawaii after the death of her brother and the fragile relationship with her parents。 From Meet Me in London we know a little bit about Malie's past but I loved finding out more a I've had this book sat on my TBR for way too long and I'm so glad I finally made the decision to read this series， especially after enjoying Meet Me in London quite as much as I did。In this book we meet Malie， one of the four girls that this series is based on， who has relocated to working for her uncle's surf school in Hawaii after the death of her brother and the fragile relationship with her parents。 From Meet Me in London we know a little bit about Malie's past but I loved finding out more about her and how she felt about things。From the very start of this book there is drama and as soon as Malie and Todd meet there are fireworks， you can tell instantly that something is going to happen between them and you just know it will be magical。 However， it soon becomes clear that there is more to Todd to and even though both Malie and Todd clearly have feelings for each other， they are both very conscious that this can't be anything more than friendship。The sizzles between them never stop though and I couldn't wait for things to progress with them even though it kept looking less and less likely。 Malie is so consumed by her past， thinking that she doesn't deserve happiness and I really thought that things weren't going to go the way that I hoped。 That was until Zoe enters - who btw， I absolutely LOVE， and starts trying to talk a bit of sense into Malie。I was left grinning so much when it got to the end of this book though， Tara is just the best kid ever and it was so enlightening and heartwarming to see her throwing caution to the wind and enjoying herself regardless of what others thought - the moment that Malie gets her on the surf board with Nala was probably one of my favourite moments of this book！Now I just can't wait to make a start on Meet Me in Tahiti！ 。。。more

This is the second book in the ‘meet me’ series， the first one being ‘Meet me in London’ which I read over Christmas and loved。 This series focuses on four women， and the strong friendship between them， each book following one woman in particular。 I adore these characters and their bond with each other， in particular their ‘lost hours’ phone call rule。 It reminds me of my own five best friends who I know would be there for me no matter what 💕This one picks up the storyline where Meet me in Londo This is the second book in the ‘meet me’ series， the first one being ‘Meet me in London’ which I read over Christmas and loved。 This series focuses on four women， and the strong friendship between them， each book following one woman in particular。 I adore these characters and their bond with each other， in particular their ‘lost hours’ phone call rule。 It reminds me of my own five best friends who I know would be there for me no matter what 💕This one picks up the storyline where Meet me in London left off， only this time instead of Victoria in snowy London， there is a change in climate and we follow Malie， who lives in Hawaii and works at a surfing school。 I adored this， it was such an easy read feel good romance， and the setting is perfect for summery days and leaves you craving a beach holiday！ This was beautifully written， and I loved the character development and how Malie progressed by the end。 The whirlwind romance was perfect， and I loved the relationship between Malie and Todd， from the dramatic way they meet to the way they both have to fight the demons in their past before they can move on。 I’m moving on to the third in the series now and can’t wait to keep following this storyline and see what happens next！ 。。。more

This is a very easy read where you know right from the start how it is going to end。 In this book， however， there was very little content and most of it read as padding。 Huge chunks could be removed and it would make no difference to the narrative。 Once again， the characters and plot reflect Georgia Toffolo and her life with very little depiction of alternatives。 Even the child sounded like an adult from Chelsea and like no other 10 year old that I've met。 However， this isn't aimed at my demogra This is a very easy read where you know right from the start how it is going to end。 In this book， however， there was very little content and most of it read as padding。 Huge chunks could be removed and it would make no difference to the narrative。 Once again， the characters and plot reflect Georgia Toffolo and her life with very little depiction of alternatives。 Even the child sounded like an adult from Chelsea and like no other 10 year old that I've met。 However， this isn't aimed at my demographic and I'm sure the target audience will lap it up。 。。。more

Such a beautifully told story！ Not only does it tell the tale of a love story in Hawaii， but it also talks about grief and how this makes a relationship complicated。 Definitely recommend giving this a read。

Perfect story to enjoy in the sunshine ☀️。

In reality 2。5 stars。It took me a very long time to get into this book， then the middle but was good but it fell a bit flat at the end， it a classic Mills&Boon though so that was nice。

Main thoughts:- Wasn't a massive fan of the story or main characters / relationship- Was really repetitive - Loved Zoe and can't wait for the next book so I can read more about herIt's a shame because I really didn't mind the first book at all。 Main thoughts:- Wasn't a massive fan of the story or main characters / relationship- Was really repetitive - Loved Zoe and can't wait for the next book so I can read more about herIt's a shame because I really didn't mind the first book at all。 。。。more

Another brilliant book from Georgia Toffolo， the perfect summer read transported to the island of Hawaii！ I absolutely loved Mali’s friendship and her history， the characters were very likeable which made for a lovely read。 I can’t wait for Toffolo’s next instalment later this year！

Nicole R。 ，

A feelgood book， that you can just listen to as the author also narrates the audiobook。 Toff has such a chipper voice that you just feel better reading/listening to it。 Getting lost in the characters and wanting to be in Hawaii yourself and surfing along the North Shore。

Synopsis:Second in the “Meet Me” series， Meet Me in Hawaii focusses on Malie， a surfing instructor， who meets a handsome millionaire， Todd， when he visits the island for a charity programme for disadvantaged children。 After a very dramatic meet cute， Todd bids on surfing lessons with Malie as he wants to get closer to her。 But after the traumatic events that happened to Malie and her friend group back in England when they were younger and her loss of her brother， she isn’t sure about opening her Synopsis:Second in the “Meet Me” series， Meet Me in Hawaii focusses on Malie， a surfing instructor， who meets a handsome millionaire， Todd， when he visits the island for a charity programme for disadvantaged children。 After a very dramatic meet cute， Todd bids on surfing lessons with Malie as he wants to get closer to her。 But after the traumatic events that happened to Malie and her friend group back in England when they were younger and her loss of her brother， she isn’t sure about opening herself up to something more serious with Todd。Opinion: I really enjoyed this book。 The vivid imagery made me incredibly jealous I’m not currently sipping cocktails by the beach or out swimming in the ocean。 This book can work well as a stand-alone even if you haven’t read Vic’s story in Meet Me in London。 The characters from the previous book are reintroduced and the background story is looked at in more depth so the reader can have an overall picture of the situation。 The relationship between Malie and Todd is complex due to underlying issues with Malie and I think Toff did an amazing job of incorporating grief and the guilt some encounter when dealing with loss。 Personally， I felt that despite the main characters instantly realising their connection， there was too much deliberation of Malie and some of the dialogue when she goes cold towards Todd is a little cringey。 Overall， I’d say this was a lovely entertaining read perfect for downtime on the beach （or in your garden this year）。 I’m very excited to read the next instalment， Meet Me in Tahiti， which I’ve been kindly gifted by Mills and Boon publishing and out for sale later in the year 。。。more

A lovely nice easy holiday read。 I am very much craving a beach holiday now。 Yes rom com/chick lit is predictable but that’s what I like。 You know who will end up with who but it’s the journey to get there。 Now time for a trip to the beach 🏖 and a cocktail 🍹
