Recovering from a bad break-up, Abbey travels with her two tiddas to Hawai'i, where personal challenges, laughter and new love await. Paradise beckons in this heartwarming and contemporary novel from bestselling author Anita Heiss.

Abbey’s ready for a holiday. Between her growing business, her recently failed relationship and her energetic grandkids, she needs to get away. So when her best friends suggest they take their yearly girls’ trip international and hit Hawai'i, Abbey says yes faster than you can say aloha. 

Before Abbey, Stevie and Caitlin head to paradise, they make a pact: they will do nothing but indulge in mai tais and sunsets – oh, and run a half marathon. It’ll be just what Abbey needs, and she’s determined to put herself first for once.

Then Abbey meets Kaleo, a man who makes her heart race, and things get complicated. This was supposed to be a fun, drama-free holiday, but will the call of holiday romance be too much to pass by? And what happens when reality comes knocking?
