Chapter 1

The Walker family are going on a much needed getaway and everybody seems to be happy with the decision except Eleanor. Her dad is obsessed with the mini-golf, her brother is making friends with everybody his age and Eleanor is left to lie on a sun-lounger, regularly apply suntan lotion and read the same magazine again and again.

And then her dad spontaneously signs her up for a game of volleyball and Eleanor meets Fletcher Sullivan, Australian, attractive and annoying.

Suddenly Eleanor is starting to think that maybe a getaway won't be such a bad idea.
