Spanish Holiday: Or, How I Transformed the Worst Vacation Ever Into the Best Summer of My Life

by Kate Cann

Dear Bella and Bobby,

Thank you SO MUCH for letting us stay at your villa. It's gorgeous, and we're having a fab time looking after it and enjoying the view of the mountains and the lovely olive grove. I figured out the bus to Ercos on the first day here -- it's as easy as you said And Miguel's son Juan is helping us take care of everything, so you needn't worry at all

Love,
Laura

A good book to start your Summer reading

A couple years ago, I read "Spanish Holiday" to start my Summer reading and it is truly a really good book to do so. The book starts at the beginning of the summer when a group of friends go to Spain. This book is a really fast read, I remember I read it in less than a day. The book is in a first person narrative of Laura, the main character. You'll find yourself rooting for your Laura and all that Laura finds herself getting into. The ending really satisfying too. There aren't many books that I would reread over again but "Spanish Holiday" is definitely one that I can read over and over. So if you're looking for a good beach read for the upcoming summer season, "Spanish Holiday" should definitely be in your beach bag.

WoW!

Spanish Holiday, I have to say, is an excellent book! I bought it in the bookstore and as I was waiting for my mom I sat down and read two chapters. Once I started reading, I couldn't stop! We went on vacation, and I finished it in about 2 days. At the moment I'm reading Grecian Holiday, which is very good and I recommend also!
