The Second Chance Hotel by Sierra Godfrey
Sourcebooks Landmark (September 12, 2023)
Women’s Friendship Fiction/Humorous Fiction/Romantic Comedy
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
An entertaining escape read of two people, who have experience past hurts and have been running from life. After traveling, they both end up at a run down Greek hotel. Things get interesting when they somehow find themselves married and have the hotel bequeath to them. Their journey of figuring out how to run a hotel and accommodate guests, as well as get to know each other had me turning the pages. I enjoyed reading how their unlikely friendship turning into love. I also liked the quirky and close-knit community. A fun, entertaining summer read!
