You’re never too old to live dangerously…
The gloriously funny new novel from the author of A Grand Old Time.
All Georgie Turner wants is to keep her family together. But with her daughter growing up fast, her sister married to a man Georgie hates, and their aging aunt getting more and more outrageous, nothing’s simple.
So when her brother-in-law makes his biggest mistake yet, Georgie sees the chance to reunite the ladies in her life. And after a little persuasion, three generations of Turner women head off on a very unusual road trip. Georgie’s confident that some sun, sea and a bottle or two of prosecco will make this an adventure they’ll never forget.
What could possibly go wrong?

Misadventure certainly sums up the zany story-line in this book.
Definitely a story where you need to suspend your belief in reality while reading as this was a completely unexpectedly wild ride.
Somehow multiple generations of one family end up on the run, after Bonnie's husband does one too many dodgy deals, and some really nasty bad guys want some revenge,
I didn't really take to most of the women in this book, but did enjoy Aunty Nanny, who has a habit of not quite using the right words, to some hilarious consequences. Plus she is easily the most fun of the characters and really came into her own.
The last third I was barely able to tear myself away from, as when everything started to heat up and come together, it did it in an addictive style.
Story wise it felt quite original, and the writing was certainly good, I just didn't really gel with most of the characters.
Thank you to Avon and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
