  • Genre: Fiction, Romance

What you need to know before your trail

For many people, a whole week with your family is hard at the best of times, but on holiday, there’s no escape. Chelsea Benson  certainly thinks so – she;s just getting over a breakup and now she is going to be forced to make nice with everyone.
That includes her grubby small nephew torpedoing any chance of romance with the dishy guy she meets on the plane . . .
Granddad chatting up ladies at the hotel bar . . .
Having to deal with the favourite sister..
Oh and that’s  all before her parents drop their bombshell.  This is going to be a family holiday with more baggage than your average airport

Travel Guide

Lanazarote

Pure white sand, lovely blue sea and the sun shining high in the sky. Well, that’s all well and good but with the family from hell with you, chances are those shadows and dark expressions are going to ensure you don’t get to see or appreciate much of it.

The family all go on an all inclusive holiday to Spain which closely ressembles the set up of the TV programme Benidorm – picture those colours and the wrinkles of those people and these are the ones evvoked din the book. The two very different sisters give their account of the holiday – a bit like the ‘ Four in a Bed’ level of analysis and what do you know, one sister thinks she’s above it all and that her family are a bit common and the other sister had a child when young and is closer to her family.

Warnings will come to you as you read such as never go on holiday with someone reaching 60 who treats you if you  spend a week with your family. You will pay for it in more ways than one.

Most importantly of all, never go on holiday with Grandad if he’s anything like the one in the novel. Or if you want a really wacky and inappropriate time then do!
