Thank you so much to Legend Press, NetGalley and Rosie Millard for the Arc. https://thereadingshed.wordpress.com This had me laughing so much, the characters are great and had me chuckling at every turn of the page. Rosie writes really well, she knows how far to go and has obviously researched well. This is one of the top ten books everyone needs in their case or backpack this year, they certainly will not be disappointed. It has fun, emotion, entertainment and lots of summer sun. Grab a Pina Colada and The Brazilian and get on that sun lounger and encounter a summer read you will never forget. Jane and Patrick have decided to decamp to Ibiza for a summer holiday and some precious 'family time'. However Jane has made sure that neighbour Belle is coming along as an au pair to look after young George. Belle is excited as her boyfriend Jas is going to be in Ibiza so she can spend some time clubbing with him when Jane's demands let her. Meanwhile Jas' boss, contemporary artist Phillip, will also be in Ibiza as part of a celebrity reality show called 'Ibiza (Or Bust)'. As so many residents of The Square descend on the White Isle, scandal is never far from the surface. Millard's first novel, 'The Square', was a satirical look as the lives of a small sector of society. Here those same characters and social mores are transported to the island of Ibiza, popular with many different cultural groups. The story is frenetic and borders on cliche at times but is irrepressibly energetic and full of knowing fun. This is ideal holiday reading, fun and frothy but with little depth. That's no bad thing as it doesn't pretend to be anything more. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
