It features picture-perfect couple Charlotte and Eli and their daughter Daisy along with Charlotte’s “rakish” (*cough drunken manbaby cough*) brother Rocco and his latest girl-of-the-moment Ruth, a Mexican Adventure where threats are made of possibly revealing long-held secrets and where at least one character might not be exactly what they appear to be. To sum it up briefly, this is the story about a family vacation that ends up with a potential kidnapping once the parties return home. Obviously this is no literary masterpiece, but I read it back before the temps were hot enough to immediately fuse your underwear to your butt on a Saturday morning out on the deck while imbibing copious amounts of coffee and found it to be sort of just the trainwreck I was looking for at that moment. About the only thing that can be said to sum up this sophomore experience for me is. But then I watched the film version and really (like really really) dug it so I definitely wanted to give her another go. My first experience with Darcey Bell was not a good one (to put it lightly).
