It should be the perfect holiday: lazy days with good friends in a clifftop house right above the beach. But when one family drops out, Kath invites her brother and father along instead, and everything starts to unravel.

All Kath wants is to have sex with her husband without a small child bursting in to demand toast and Marmite. All her brother Rob wants is to find out if he has a hope in hell with the woman he loves. And their dad Giles needs to learn what it really means to be a good father.

​

And Miranda? Ah, beautiful, baffling, deeply flawed Miranda – at the heart of it all, who wants nothing more than to survive the week without anyone’s suspecting the truth.
