Free (Kindle/Kobo/iTunes) A Proper Family Holiday [Chick-Lit Family Ensemble Comedy]

A Proper Family Holiday by bestselling UK author Chrissie Manby is the 1st novel in her Proper Family series of chick-lit contemporary ensemble cast comedy novels, possibly with f/m romantic elements, centred around assorted members of the Benson family juggling their own lives while dealing with the foibles of their eccentric kin, this installment pitting a hapless journalist against four generations of her relatives during the titular week-long family holiday as longstanding grudges are healed and secrets are revealed, etc., free courtesy of publisher Hodder & Stoughton.

This is the featured Free Book of the Week in the iTunes UK store.

Currently free, probably just through next Monday @ Sainsbury, Amazon UK, iTunes UK, Kobo & Google Play (available to the UK, and also EU countries when I spot-check assorted regional stores)

And this has been the selected 3rd (non-repeat) free ebook thread of the day.

Because we rarely get outright humour novels, so it's nice to get a bit of variety in the official publisher promo offerings. And from the customer reviews, apparently this one does juggle the POV-time apportioned reasonably fairly between most of the family members, fleshing out the extended cast of characters and their concerns and their own stories and not just making them a backdrop for the ostensible heroine's journey of self-discovery, so that's also a nice touch.

Enjoy!

Description
Could you survive a week-long holiday with your entire family?

Newly single magazine journalist Chelsea Benson can't think of anything worse.

Your grubby small nephew torpedoing any chance of romance with the dishy guy you met on the plane . . .

Your eighty-five-year-old granddad chatting up ladies at the hotel bar . . .

Getting nothing but sarcastic comments from your older sister, who's always been the family favourite . . .

And all this is before your parents drop their bombshell.

Is a week enough time for the Bensons to put their differences aside and have some fun? Or is this their last ever proper family holiday?

Heartwarming and funny, this is the perfect summer read for fans of SOPHIE KINSELLA and LINDSEY KELK. And provides a great excuse for ignoring your annoying family members . . .
