Summary: This book is about a family, the Posts, who go to vacation in Mallorca for 2 weeks, along with another couple, Charles and Lawrence. Everyone in the family has secrets, there is much unhappiness, and the book details those two weeks.
My Review: (And, of course, spoiler alert).
In one word, this book was shallow. There are four members of the Post family, Jim and Franny (the parents), Bobby, who's dating Carmen, who was also on the trip, and Sylvia, who's about to go to college. Like in many other books, one of the conflicts revolves around one partner cheating on the other. Another conflict - one kid's out of money, and oh surprise! The mom doesn't like the girlfriend. And one kid is concerned with re-inventing herself before she goes to college, and with losing her virginity before August. What better way to have that happen then to introduce a super hot Spanish tutor! Because, as we all know, on two week summer vacations, every kid wants to take language lessons.
This conflicts, and the resolutions, were predictable. How characters reacted - predictable. Even parts of the dialogue were predictable.
I would definitely not recommend this book.
