content: I love Sophie Kinsella's books and thought I would enjoy one with her as Madeleine Wickham, but this was just not even close to the quality I was expecting from her. I found myself quickly skimming just to get to the end and call it a day. It was not a "page-turner" in a positive sense of the phrase. I did not feel attached to any particular characters. The plot jumped around which made certain excerpts seem pointless to the storyline. The nanny was just downright annoying. I'm all for characters you love to hate, but there was no love here. The whole reason behind the two families getting stuck at the same villa was stupid. I was hoping for a clever reason behind it all, but I was extremely let down.
