Who doesn't have a terrible family vacation story to share? Well, that isn't this book. Although siblings Richard and Angela have not been close, they decide to rent a house and vacation together with their families after their mother dies. Suffice it to say everyone involved has issues except maybe 8 year old Benjy who is just having a good time. This book follows the vacation for a week and the relationships among those in the house.
The authors previous book "The curious incident of the dog in the night-time" stuck me as brilliant. This one, not so much. But maybe it is just me. I didn't want to stop reading but it seems rather ordinary and I was hoping for more.
