About this listen

An Almost Perfect Holiday is a warm and witty story of friendship, family and hope, by the Sunday Times best seller Lucy Diamond, author of The Beach Cafe and Summer at Shell Cottage.

The holidays are here, and down in Cornwall Lorna’s cottages are fully booked. The sun loungers are lined up beside the swimming pool, the sky is blue and a new set of arrivals are on their way....

Em’s planned the perfect break with her teenagers plus her new boyfriend, George...but now his difficult six-year-old is coming too. Will their romance survive the realities of parenthood?

Maggie’s hoping a seaside holiday will bring her and her daughter closer together, but when her ex makes a surprise reappearance, it changes everything. Can she trust the man who broke her heart?

Olivia has escaped the domestic grind, only for the past to catch up with her. Maybe the time has come to confess all - if she can find the courage....

Meanwhile, the teenagers are running wild and love is in the air. With friendship, heartache and secrets in the mix, will this holiday turn out to be a scorcher—or simply too hot to handle?

Critic reviews

No one creates funny, flawed and immediately relatable characters like Lucy. I adored this book from the very first page (Cathy Bramley, bestselling author of A Patchwork Family)
A delight from first page through to last (Milly Johnson, bestselling author of The Teashop on the Corner)

As a fan of Lucy Diamond I had high hopes and wasn't disappointed. I was sad the book ended and wanted to keep hearing more about all the characters.
I've taken 1 star off from the performance only because occasionally the accents weren't consistent; the narrator is still brilliant though.

A easy listen story just what I needed. Not sure about the performance the accents leave something to the imagination, some characters sound the same. But this doesn’t take away from the overall book.

A really easy listen

Takes TIME
