What I Did on My Holidays - Chrissie Manby (2012)
Sophie Sturgeon cannot wait for her summer holiday - a trip to Majorca with boyfriend Callum. But on the eve of their flight, Sophie doesn't hear from Callum until 8 o'clock at night - ruining a romantic dinner she had planned to kick-start their vacation. Instead Callum sends her a text message advising that he is dumping her. Unable to understand what has just happened, Sophie doesn't get on their flight the next morning. And when her sister Clare comes in to water her plants, she hides behind a door frame rather than admit what has happened. But eventually she is forced to come clean - even if it's just to stop her sister trying on her Jimmy Choos. Clare comes up with a plan to pretend that Sophie had gone on that trip to Majorca and that Clare has flown out to her rescue. She desperately needs a break from her fiance Evan. Once Sophie decides to go along with her sister's plan she has no idea what is in store for her. Will she get Callum back or will they get caught out? This is a great book about sisters coming together in their time of need. It's a hilarious tale on how far you are willing to go to get your boyfriend back. (CG)
