This funny fiction is the prequel that takes place the year of Kitty’s divorce and before the first Finch Family Holiday kicks off. We find Kitty Finch trying to get to grips with life without Mason and seeking a friend on-line to share her time and troubles with but he turns out to be more trouble than he is worth. When things gets weird she tries to end their friendship, only he is not having it so she persuades her sister-in-law that she needs a short break as Darcie suggests that Kitty accompany the couple on their three-day trip. However, it does not remain just the three of them going on an Amsterdam adventure when other Finch family members wangle a ticket to ride so they all travel in style together to their destination. Well the transport was certainly stylish but Kitty’s attire was anything but and this turns out to be the least of her worries. How will she handle the fact that her newly ex-husband is coming along too?
It was not all fun and games for Kitty when she discovers that things are not going her way no matter how hard she tries to deal with stuff that could prevent her enjoyment and talk about unrequited love, for it is catching on. Especially when she ends up gatecrashing a hen party and pretending to be someone else, just so they will let her join in. Before she tastes the local delicacies with a new friend, not to mention the bike from hell that makes her suffer with embarrassment never mind physically with her health issues. There is also the Red Light District to contend with, where all her worst fears came true. Overall, it was a memorable stay in the end and to find out more just read this British comedy book.
