Aucun Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre. 1   katiekrug | Jan 5, 2024 |   Lots of shouting, arguments, and dysfunction. Just OK. (  ) rmarcin | Jun 1, 2023 | There is some dark humor and some dry British humor but based on the story it should have been either very funny or a tragic comedy. It really comes off as neither. Lastly I really disliked the chapters narrated by the imaginary friend Posey and supplemented by scarlet, Also there were some large inconsistencies about the abilities of a 7/8 year old. ( ) zmagic69 | Mar 31, 2023 | The characters are NOT, as billed on the cover, remotely as enjoyable as in "Love Actually." Predictable plot wavers around an imaginary boring rabbit and drunken relapse, as Alex ingnores all obvious and intuitive warnings.

"Meet The Adults. Claire and Matt are no longer together but decide what's best for their daughter Scarlett is to have a "normal" family Christmas. They can't agree on whose idea it was to go to the Happy Forest Holiday park , or who said they should bring their new partners. But someone did--and it's too late to pull the plug. Claire brings her new boyfriend Patrick (never Pat), a seemingly sensible, eligible from a distance, Iron-Man-in-Waiting. Matt brings the new love of his life Alex, funny, smart, and extremely patient. Scarlett, who is seven, brings her imaginary friend Posey. He's a rabbit. Together the five (or six?) of them grit their teeth over Forced Fun activities, drinking a little too much after bed-time, oversharing classified secrets about their pasts and before you know it their holiday is a powder keg that ends--where this story starts--with a tearful, frightened, call to the police... But what happened? They said they'd all be adults about this... -- Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

This one grabbed me right away - the premise has a lot of promise and Hulse mostly delivers on it. We see things from multiple perspectives - all the good intentions, the grinning-and-bearing it, the tension and animosity. The writing is sharp and the characterizations strong. I especially appreciated how there were no absolute good or bad guys and my sympathy kept shifting around based on the evolving character development. (
