There's nothing quite like family. Except family on holiday . . .

When Cal loses his beloved wife Nikki, and his teenage step-daughter Zoe moves out to live with her father, his whole world falls apart.

But life works in mysterious ways. And when a prestigious university wants to pay tribute to Nikki with a posthumous award in Zurich, Cal sees an opportunity to both honour his wife, and mend things with Zoe.

The plan is a European inter-railing trip to Zurich - but what Cal hasn't anticipated is Zoe lying to her father about it, and inviting their other relatives to join too. What starts off as a very awkward family reunion - punctuated with some sightseeing - quickly takes a turn as tempers fray, secrets are revealed, and the pent-up grief they're all still carrying is unleashed.

Another fantastic read from this super talented author. I honestly do not know how he does it - I am genuinely amazed at how he crafts such brilliant characters each time. With his vivid descriptions and writing style, it’s easy to connect with them through their often challenging lives. I was really rooting for Zoe and Cal throughout!
And no spoilers, but I was very happy with the ending 🥰
