What if you had a second chance…to find yourself?
Instead of slipping on her something borrowed and tripping up the aisle to wedded bliss, Georgia spends her big day crying into a warm Sex-on-the-Beach, wondering where it all went wrong.
Encouraged to make a bucket list of her new travel goals by best friend Marie, it’s not long before travel-virgin Georgia’s packing her bags for a long-haul voyage to Thailand.
Yet, Georgia’s big adventure doesn’t seem to be going to plan. What with strange sights, smells and falling for every rookie traveller scam in the book, Georgia has never felt more alone.
But the good thing about falling apart is that you can put yourself back together any way you please. And new Georgia might just be someone she can finally be proud of…
This year it is time to find the place where you truly belong…

KATY COLINS
Author of ‘The Lonely Hearts Travel Club’ series
Katy completed her first novel A Dogs Tale at the age of 11 which received rave reviews…from her Grandad and English teacher. This was just the encouragement she needed to carry on writing.
As a qualified journalist with articles published in Company magazine and The Daily Star she crossed sides to work in Public Relations before selling all she owned to backpack solo around South East Asia and finally put her thoughts into words, writing as she travelled.
Katy currently lives by the sea in France where she is on a one-woman mission to educate the French about the necessity and technicalities of making a good cup of tea. When she is not writing about romance, travel and adventure, she loves travelling, catching up with family and friends and convincing herself that her croissant addiction isn’t out of control – just yet.

When life gives you lemons you take ‘em and run because … free lemons. Seriously though, sometimes you don’t realise how far you’ve come until you look back. This is for you past Katy, I told you it would all work out.
Huge gigantic thanks to my noisy, fun and ruddy inspiring family. Mum and Dad - you never doubted me and gave me the courage to be brave, say yes and always try my very best. I hope I have made you proud.
A special shout out to Paula Stokes an intelligent and insightful lady with a keen eye for detail. Your ongoing support would make my grandparents proud.
To Gregoire Pruvost for supporting me, feeding me cake and chatting over ideas in another language. Je t’aime. To my wonderful friends including my bezzo Jen Brown, a true diamond. My life is better because you are in it.
To Victoria Oundjian and Lydia Mason for your priceless editing expertise in polishing this book so that it gleams. Also a huge thanks to everyone at HQ for believing in me and to the other HQ authors for welcoming me into this new family with virtual hugs and enthusiastic support.
I probably wouldn’t be writing this if it wasn’t for Rosie Blake and Kerry Hudson. Because of the WoMentoring Project I got to meet two kick ass women who encouraged me to pour my soul into this wild journey.
Thank you to my writing gang Holly Martin, Kat Black, Helen Redfern, Rachael Lucas, Cesca Major and Emily Kerr, I never knew hot tubs in a powercut and villagers chasing us with jam could be so much fun.
I am forever grateful to the awesome people I met along my travels. Special thanks to the following individuals who truly inspired both mine and Georgia’s journey: Jenny Silkstone, Rachel Bryant, Laura Hughes, Lars Hognestad, Adam Whitley, Desiree McCaffrey, Mary Wade, Brent Alexander, Ryan Harrison and Zoe Collie.
To my Twitter friends, super lovely book and travel bloggers and supporters of NotWedorDead.com, big thanks for tirelessly cheering me on, we may have never met IRL but that doesn’t mean you don’t rock my world.
And finally, a squishy big thanks to you lovely reader for buying, reading, sharing and reviewing. If you enjoyed my little book then please tell all your friends, I’m sure they are just as awesome as you.
Gather your rosebuds while you may.
Grandad, this is for you.
