Things get desperate for strangers Harriet and Sophie when they become stranded with their families in Heathrow's Terminal 5. Each woman has her own reason for really really really needing the family holiday they've anticipated for months. But Iceland's volcano has other plans for them. When their flights are cancelled, the families swap houses and discover that sometimes the best things in life happen close to home. This ash cloud has a silver lining, even if no one can quite see it yet.

My Thoughts:
I requested this book on Netgalley as it sounded a great holiday read and then my holiday was cancelled so I decided to have my own staycation by renting a hot tub and plenty of milkshake deliveries! Right now to my review of the book!
i love the start of the book, two families stressing out at the airport and after searching for somewhere to sit, they ending up chatting. The two ladies may be wearing the same dress and are completely different but they both needed this holiday so when their flight is cancelled, the deiced to house swap (to be honest, if someone offers this option to me in the airport, I would defo be saying no!)
Whilst I was reading the book, I kept jotting down my thoughts and some of them was actually correct!
Harriet's husband James seems to be hiding something, as Sophie found him back into the village up to something - I so wasn't expecting what was being arranged!
Harriets daughter - always on the phone (but who isn't these days?) is something more going on?
If this was a thriller, I would be betting on Sophie's husband being dodgy. Sophie is poorly, is there something more sinister going on?
The only thing I'm jealous about Sophie's holiday is the daily spa treatment!
Overall, I did really enjoy this book but I kept thinking something more interesting was going to happen, but I was slightly disappointed at the ending!
I would still recommend people buying this book, as it's a great summer read. Especially for everyone who can't go on holiday this year!
