I am a chick lit girl at heart so it was great to dive into
a fabulous story full of delight characters.
In this wonderful tale we meet the Benson family, we catch
up at grandads Bill’s Birthday party with all his family around him celebrating
his great day, all his grandkids had clubbed together to buy him lottery ticket
which turns out he wins £50,000 which he
splits between them..
They arrive the following Sunday and have a family roast to
discuss the spending at Annabel, Jackie oldest who she gave up for adoption
when Jackie and Dave where teenagers too young to have a child but they found
their way back to bringing a family of sorts. After dinner, Grandad Bill
decided with the money that was left that they should book a cruise for all the
family to go on, but as soon as this was decided family members start dropping like
flies. The first to drop is Annabel and her husband their daughter Sophie has
not long had a liver transplant and wanted to stay closer to her if anything
happens , as Sophie taken internship at a local law firm to gain work
experience. The next to drop out was Izzy, great granddaughter who also booked
an internship at a country magazine which is her dream job plus she gets too
stay with Sophie which is an added bonus. Just before the rest of the family
are set to sail, Grandad Bill fells ill and is also unable to attend the
cruise, Jackie feels that her and Dave will have to give up the cruise to look
after him as they are his full time carers. Annabel steps up and takes Grandad
Bill in.
So the rest pf the family Jackie, Dave, Chelsea with her
boyfriend Adam and his daughter, Lily, Ronnie, Mark and Jack head for the
cruise…….
Also taking the same cruise are Kirsty and Jane best friends,
Kirsty feels that Jane needs a break and different view and come out of her
shell that she hiding in since the loss of her husband to be and needs to feel
life again.
Once on the cruise we dive more into Chelsea and Adams
relationship, they have been together for a year now and just before the Cruise
he said her to move in with him and Lily. But Adam is living with his dead wife
even thou he loves Chelsea, he still not ready to really let her go. Jackie has
got into her head that Adam is going to put a ring on her finger so a chance
meeting with a stranger lose or save his relationship with Chelsea.
What I loved about the book that it switches back and forth
between the characters on sea and land but be papered with a box of tissues,
but this book is every additive for the word so go grab yourself a copy and
find out will she or wont she……
