No-One Ever Has Sex on Holiday
Tracy Bloom
Rating: 5 stars
Get ready to enjoy your first holiday abroad with small children. Highlights include: being woken at 5 every morning and working a gruelling day in 30-degree heat chasing kids around the pool with a bottle of sunscreen. Added features: screaming during mealtimes and toddlers moaning about sand. Absolutely no sex guaranteed or your money back!
Katy and Ben and their four closest friends are going to Spain for a week with their kids. Sun, sex and sangria? Almost certainly not.
The couples think they are prepared for all the joys and trials a family holiday has to offer but they have a shock coming, and not only from the kids. Into their first day by the pool crashes Ollie, who has just been dumped by his girlfriend, and Cassie, on her hen party holiday but having serious doubts about her impending marriage. A recipe for a relaxing week abroad? Let's wait and see...
From the no.1 bestselling author of No-one Ever Has on a Tuesday, this is the perfect book to read on the beach - either with or without small children. Perfect for fans of Nick Spalding, Marian Keyes and Gill Sims.

What a hilarious and lighthearted, enjoyable read! I've read novels by this author a few times but this is by far my favourite. It's hysterical from start to finish, one that I couldn't put down because every page was just so funny and engaging! The cover is bright, summery and draws you in with it's simplistic but happy colours.
Every part of this book had humour, whether the families be on the plane, or at dinner time or even just chilling by the pool. There was always something funny happening and I loved that. It's the perfect lighthearted novel to read whilst lounging (either by the pool or on your sofa!). One character who I really liked was Daniel, I loved his sense of humour and just his ways made me laugh too! I also liked Katy and her partner Ben. One person who I wasn't too sure on was Abby, this was because I really liked Braindead and hoped that they were going to sort out their differences and have a lovely family holiday!
I honestly really enjoyed this novel from start to finish. Even though I'm not a mum yet I still found every page relatable and funny. It gave a good insight as to what a family holiday is really like! I loved Tracy's style of writing, it was effortless and easy to read. The only characters that I felt weren't really needed was Ollie and Cassie. They kind of just seemed irrelevant to me, like they weren't necessary to the storyline. Other than this, it was a great read and I'll definitely be looking out for more Tracy Bloom novels in future.
Even though I hadn't read every book in this series, you can easily read this novel as a standalone as the author gives quite good backing stories so you don't feel like you are missing too much information. Thank you to the publisher for a chance to read an advance copy of this novel, which I have reviewed honestly.
