Blog Tour - The Adults by Caroline Hulse

The most hilarious debut you will read this year.

MEET THE ADULTS.

Claire and Matt are divorced but decide what's best for their daughter Scarlett is to have a 'normal' family Christmas. They can't agree on whose idea it was, or who said they should bring their new partners. But someone did - and it's too late to pull the plug.

Claire brings her new boyfriend Patrick, a seemingly eligible Iron-Man-in-Waiting. Matt brings the new love of his life Alex, funny, smart, and extremely patient. Scarlett, their daughter, brings her imaginary friend Posey. He's a rabbit.

Together the five (or six?) of them grit their teeth over Organized Fun activities, drinking a little too much after bed-time, oversharing classified secrets about their pasts and, before you know it, their holiday is a powder keg that ends - where this story starts - with a tearful, frightened, call to the police...

But what happened? They said they'd all be adults about this...

If you loved THE BREAK by Marian Keyes or raved about THE ROSIE PROJECT - look no further than THE ADULTS.

I really enjoyed The Adults, it really is one of those books that will make you laugh throughout! While it is most definitely a comedy book, it is also very poignant and is one of those  books that many readers will really identify with and see many of their own friendship circle within the cast of characters throughout the book.

Caroline very cleverly includes with the book a number of police witness statements throughout the story which describes the 'incident' from the many viewpoints of the main characters. I really liked this style of writing and I thought it was an interesting way of telling the story.

I am really looking forward to reading more by Caroline Hulse.

Thank you to the publishers, Orion Books, for a copy of this book in return for an honest review.
