Could you survive a week-long holiday with your entire family?
Newly single magazine journalist Chelsea Benson can’t think of anything worse…
Your grubby small nephew torpedoing any chance of romance with the dishy guy you met on the plane.
Your eighty-five-year-old granddad chatting up ladies at the hotel bar.
Getting nothing but sarcastic comments from your older sister, who’s always been the family favourite.
And all this is before your parents drop their bombshell.
Is a week enough time for the Bensons to put their differences aside and have some fun? Or is this their last ever proper family holiday?
Heartwarming, funny and fabulously frank, this is the perfect summer read for fans of Why Mummy Drinks, Alexandra Potter and Fiona Gibson. And provides a great excuse for ignoring your annoying family members…

Praise for WHAT I DID ON MY HOLIDAYS
'Manby's novels are made for holidays - light enough to pick up and put down, but entertaining enough to keep you happy by the pool.'
'Smart and entertaining, beach reading doesn't get much better than this!' ****
'A gloriously delicious read! ... Packed with warm characters and hilarious situations'
An absolute beaut for the deckchair . . . Manby's writing is effortlessly funny, but it's the warmth behind the comedy that kept me glued
'The perfect summer escapist read'
