My review:
Sorry to say that I did not care for this one.
If any two people should not be married it’s Suzie & George. They are both so unlikable and really insufferable, truly awful. Suzie relies too heavily on her father’s influence and can’t make any decisions for herself. George is so full of himself and a right meany pants to Suzie, often calling her a cow and bi!ch. Talking about his fair share of her money over and over and over again. If that’s not bad enough he doesn’t know how to keep it in his pants. They both use money as a way to try to get what they want.
I’m not sure the child molestation plot added much to the overall story, except as to be the reasoning George won’t go to church with Suzie. Maybe it’s why he was so awful, too.
The ending was quite implausible, but overall satisfying.

Book blurb:
It was meant to be the perfect getaway…As I board the plane, all I can feel is hope and excitement. One whole week away. Just me and the man I have promised to be with forever. Time to repair what has been broken. Maybe even try for another baby, and pray that this time it doesn’t end heartbreakingly. I just need to not think about what George has done. He’s my husband. And this is the holiday where we make things right. But then I realise he can’t take his eyes off the beautiful woman who’s just boarded the plane in front of me… In that moment, everything changes. And nobody is safe.
A gripping, twisty, breathtaking psychological thriller that will keep you reading late into the night. If you loved The Housemaid, The Girl on the Train and The Couple at No.9, you’ll be addicted to The Holiday.
