Such a bad idea....a divorced couple and their new partners going off for a 5 day Christmas vacation. I think the reader can see where this is going, and they are correct. Awful plan, inevitable crisis and a fun book to read. Yes, it’s predictable but certainly a good read. All this takes place in an English version of a glamorous family camp.

Since the book begins with an emergency call to get help for a member of this jolly quartet, who has been shot by an arrow, the reader is waiting for the arrow to hit. The complications of their relationships and the inevitable rivalry is well developed. Thrown into the mix is Scarlett the seven year child of Matt and Clare and her Harvey-like friend, Posey the invisible rabbit.

Oh, this is enjoyable, good to read with a group and discuss the pitfalls and boundaries of blended families.
