Product Description
Hi Abby,
Bet I'm the last person you expected to get a card from. The island is hot and beautiful and brilliant, but you were 80% right about Davinia. No—90% right. She's totally self-centered and she's trying to force me to date this creep! I'd sooner slit my wrists because I'm in love with someone else. He's gorgeous but he hates me. Aren't holidays supposed to be relaxing?! Abby, I wish we hadn't fallen out. Maybe see you when I get back?
Lots of love (honest!),
Chloe xxx

This review is from: Mediterranean Holiday (Mass Market Paperback)
Kate Cann writes a scrumptious tale of a dream vacation that features more twists and turns than a roller-coaster in MEDITERRANEAN HOLIDAY, a coming-of-age story that never fails to entertain.
Chloe, a British teen, is trying to regroup and adjust to living with just her dad, after her mom leaves the family for her lover. She decides to refrain from all contact with her mother and does her best to avoid even thinking about her. When stunningly beautiful and spoiled Davinia arrives at Chloe's private school, her presence is a welcome distraction for Chloe. She finds Davinia utterly fascinating and will do anything it takes to befriend her. Throwing away her old friends without a second thought, Chloe spends more and more time with the dangerously daring Davinia in and out of school. The two become fast friends and before she knows it, Chloe is invited to vacation with Davinia's wealthy family on the luxurious island of Caminos, a small island in the Mediterranean. Chloe jumps at the opportunity and daydreams about all of the exciting adventures that she and Davinia will have over the course of their summer. As soon as school's out, the two girls leave behind everything drab in Britain for the sunshine and swimming in Caminos. Right away--well, as soon as they board the plane--Chloe meets a boy that leaves her breathless, and over the course of the summer, Chloe finds herself trying to balance her friendship with Davinia, her pursuit of romance, her family situation, and her newfound independence. But Davinia doesn't turn out to be the girl Chloe thought she was and somebody Chloe thought she never wanted to see again suddenly shows up on the island. Suddenly, Chloe's Mediterranean vacation is nothing like she thought it would be. Will Chloe be able to straighten out her holiday mess and enjoy her last few weeks on Caminos? MEDITERRANEAN HOLIDAY is a sweet and spicy look at the real life challenges behind a seemingly perfect vacation. I can only hope that someday I'll have a summer vacation as action-packed as Chloe's!

Best one yet!,
By A. L. Wooden - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Mediterranean Holiday (Mass Market Paperback)
According to my mother I seem to say that about each one every summer! But its always true. Each summer they just seem to get better and better. I couldnt put this book down at all! Kate Cann's writing totally took me over and I just fell in love with Chole! And now all I want is just to go out on my own holiday and find freedom and love. If you loved the other 3 books then of course you'll love this one.
-Chole is a 17 year old girl who is dealing with her mother moving in with her 'lover' and her dad having breakdown after the divorce. When a new girl, Davinia, shows up at school Chole becomes completely obessed with her. Davinia is rich, self center and seems to be very confindent, Chole admires her for it. Once ditching her best friend, Davinia invites Chole on her Holiday with her and her parents. But Chole soon realizes that Davinia isnt at all what she thought and the holiday takes a complete turn. 1 of 2 people found the following review helpful:

Dont waste your money!,
By Little D - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Mediterranean Holiday (Mass Market Paperback)
I'm a huge fan of Kate Cann's of Holiday books so I knew I just had to pick this one up.
Needless to say, I was very disappointed! It's nothing like the other books. Both of the main girls in this book really got on my nerves. Chloe thinks she right all the time and just ends up acting like a whiney girl cussing and yelling at her friends parents becuase she's not having the vacation she wants. Davinia is a spoiled brat and I didn't like her from the very beginning of the book. |
