The Holiday Cruise by Victoria Cooke Literary humour/romcom
Hannah is struggling. Her husband has walked out on her and she has been mooching
around the house for weeks on end. She has left her business in the capable hands of
her two assistants but just can’t pull herself together enough to make that first move
forward. When things come to a head she has to make decisions and sharpish.
A chance conversation over a nail bar puts a thought into her head- one that won’t go
away. It rather surprises even her and her next step is one she never would have
dreamed of- a job on a cruise liner headed for the Caribbean. On board she discovers
not only new friends and wonderful destinations but a new Hannah that the old one
would struggle to recognise. This is a wonderful read. Most of us have been there in
one way or another-when things are so bleak you don’t know which way to turn.
One step can make a huge difference as we all know. I really took to Hannah with all of
her ups and downs. Her character shone through the pages. Written in a realistic way
with foibles and odd thoughts that we all have from time to time along with descriptions
that may make you want to book your next holiday- or at least a break from the 9-5 of
everyday life. I have never been on a cruise and never even been sure that I would
want to- however this describes it from a “below” stairs experience rather than the
glitz and glamour of what I imagine being a guest is like. A truly hope that there is a
follow up book as I would like to get to know Hannah and Ben a little more. This book
is one of those that communicates on many levels. A read to make you smile,
a read to make you think. One life- live it.

The Holiday Cruise As if it weren’t enough to be cheated on by her husband of ten years, Yorkshire lass Hannah
Davis is losing her beauty salon business too. Luckily, her big sister is there to pick up the
pieces, but Hannah is desperate to find some independence. Impulsively, Hannah applies for a spa job…on a cruise ship! Christmas in the Caribbean,
springtime in the Mediterranean, what’s not to like? But, despite being in her thirties,

who she is and who she wants to be. Purchase Links - mybook.to/TheHolidayCruise
