Operation Sunshine - Jenny Colgan

I had never read any of Jenny Colgan’s books before, so I didn’t quite know what to expect when I read Operation Sunshine as I couldn’t compare it to any of her other books.

I'm always on the hunt for good second hand books, especially in this heat when you just want to sit near a fan or in the shade with a breeze and a cool drink. Operation Sunshine was a book I picked up on one of these second-hand spree's and whilst it fufilled it's purpose by being a mildly entertaining summer read (and the fact that it was only 50p) it won't be making my list of top reads any time soon.
