That was fantastic! The episodes of their individual drunken shenanigans were both hilarious and cringeworthy. I laughed out loud several times! The Christmas Day bender and the recording of it by their 17 old daughter, Kate, makes them realize maybe things aren’t so funny after all. This begins the journey to sobriety, in the public eye nonetheless.

The writing is superb. The characters are so layered and relatable. The way Scott and Kate’s marriage evolves (both good and bad) during the struggle to remain sober was fascinating. There are a handful of characters that are just priceless (Scott’s boss, Charlton Camberwell, PinkyPud and an unusual therapist to name a few...)

This is a tough topic and there are some somber moments and real struggles throughout the story for all the family members. But there is also humor and love and growth. I really enjoyed it and highly recommend!

Thanks to NetGalley, the author, and Amazon Publishing UK for a copy in exchange for a review.

Another madcap and zany book by Nick Spalding - Promises to entertain ! This story involves a family of three; Parents in their forties with a 17 year old daughter. I usually do not laugh out loud when reading, but I just had to. A near riot begins for Kate - involving a wedding and a tractor; and also for Scott - this involving a drunken fireworks "display", Their daughter, Holly, however, is embarrassed by her parents drunken displays. At Christmastime, Holly makes a video of her parents while they are drunk.

The drunken sprees end; but UTube followers love Kate and Scott's (mis)adventures. We are treated with both their struggles with sobriety and their "non-sobriety".

Enter PinkyPud - a UTube Vlogger who is a hero in Holly's eyes. Not so much in her parents', however. Especially now that Scott finds out that 20 year old "Pinks" has a hidden agenda !

The ultimate question is: how will this nutty, if not crazy, family end up? For you to see...

Nick Spalding at his BEST !!!

Extremely enjoyable! Many thanks to Amazon UK and Netgalley for many laughs and a great story!
