Another outstanding psychological thriller by Shalini Boland. I’m always excited when I see that Shalini Boland has a new book out. In THE FAMILY HOLIDAY, two families decide to do a house swap for a holiday. One family lives in an English cottage, the other in an Italian villa. Amber is annoyed by one of Beth’s nosy neighbors snooping around and knocking on Beth’s door every other minute while Amber and her family are trying to enjoy their relaxing vacation in their house swap. Beth is married
HAPPY PUBLICATION DAY!A house swap gone wrong!Remember the movie, “The Holiday”, starring Cameron Diaz and Kate Winslet? They exchange houses on opposite sides of the world for a holiday/vacation, and the swap is ultimately a success for both of them. Not here. Beth and her family (including one PRICK of a husband who you will hate) decide to take a holiday from their house in the wintery UK, and swap houses with Amber and her family in sunny Italy. Amber’s house is much fancier, but Beth’s hous...
Shalini Boland is one of my go-to authors for a twisty, unputdownable read. I didn't even check to see what this book was about when I requested it. I just saw her name and the title and knew instantly that I wanted to read it. I was not disappointed. The family Holiday follows two families swapping houses for a two-week vacation. We have the Kildares from the UK and the glamorous Masons from Italy. It should be an idyllic family holiday but all is not as it appears to be as one of the families

What a tangled web this book was! I could not put it down. I enjoyed the flow of the story and how it all connected in the end. Just when I thought I knew where it was going BAM another plot twist. I thought it ended kind of abruptly. I would have liked to see things play out a little bit longer.Beth and her husband Niall are desperate for a family vacation. They are delighted to find a house swapping site and immediately jump at the opportunity. They trade their English cottage with Amber Mason...
Can there be a more enticing blurb than ‘2 families who have never met but via an internet site embark on a house swap for their holidays?’ the scene is alreasy set for a good story and it appealed to me instantly 🤗And it is sooo difficult to say much more without giving a hint of what is to come, I will say there is a delicious set of characters, some stunning scenery descriptions of Italy and Dorset and a genuinely unexpected story that is packed with twists and turns and had me racing through...
2 families decide to swap houses for a 2 week vacation. One lives in England and the other lives in Italy. All starts out great until things start to happen and I didn’t know what was coming next. So many twists and so many lies, my head had whiplash from it all. I love all Shalini Boland books and this one was great too. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this early release in exchange for my honest review.
3 1/2 Stars Warning! Do not read the Goodread's blurb! It reveals something major that occurs at about the 80% mark! My advice, go into this blind! In true Shalini Boland style, this is a fast paced, twisty psychological thriller! Even with several heinous characters and with one of the most highly unlikable, obnoxious, despicable husbands ever, this had me turning the pages quickly to find out what was going on! Couldn't understand why the wife of this abomination, would want to stay married to...
