After a difficult couple of years, some R&R is on the cards, and she's taking her mom with her。 Luckily, the office Quiz Night is coming up and the prize is an all-expenses-paid trip to Zanzibar。 Good thing Margaret has never met a quiz question she didn't like。

The idea of sharing anything else with Jagger is unthinkable。 But if she's going get what she needs from this trip, Margaret might have to compromise。

Away from the office and in a tropical paradise, Margaret beings to wonder if her archnemesis maybe has some qualities。

Could the holiday from hell turn into the vacation of her dreams?

Thanks to Netgalley for providing me with a copy of What Happens on Vacation。Firstly, I am a big Jo Watson fan。 I discovered her books during lockdown and they were such a tonic, What Happens on Vacation is no different。I really enjoyed this book even if the story was a bit predictable at times。 Margaret was extremely unlikeable at times but the other characters' likeability evened it all out。 I'd recommend this to anyone who wants an easy read that ticks a lot of rom-com tropes。 Thanks to Netgalley for providing me with a copy of What Happens on Vacation。Firstly, I am a big Jo Watson fan。 I discovered her books during lockdown and they were such a tonic, What Happens on Vacation is no different。I really enjoyed this book even if the story was a bit predictable at times。 Margaret was extremely unlikeable at times but the other characters' likeability evened it all out。 I'd recommend this to anyone who wants an easy read that ticks a lot of rom-com tropes。 。。。more

I like that。 I think she's quite a funny character。 She's a bit shy about the topic of sex, which is hilarious, especially when she spells the word out instead of saying it。 Her friendships with Lesego and Leighton George are so adorable。 I like reading their text messages to each other。 Her struggle to be in relationships again after her divorce may also touch the hearts of readers。 I feel like many people would be able to relate to her with this。The story also talks a bit about the history of slavery within Africa。 I learned that "Zanzibar was the centre of the East African slave trade and at one stage human trafficking was the most lucrative business here。” That's exactly what the book said。 I like knowledge :) And what's better is that all such information inserted in the story is relevant because, lo and behold, Margaret and Jagger are journalists。 As such, it doesn't feel like the information is put there for the sake of being there。 I like that。Not gonna lie。。。 this book was so chaotic。 In a good way! Margaret's conversations with her friends are absolutely chaotic, especially when they talk about Jagger。 However, the whole thing with her mother Anke and his father Eddy was chaotic。。。 in another way。 I mean, I guess it's sweet that they started falling in love over their holiday, but it actually irked me that (view spoiler)[her mother disrespected the bed that she had to share with her daughter for the 7-day-long vacation like that, practically forcing her daughter to share a bed with Jagger (hide spoiler)]。 🤦‍♀️ It felt like she didn't respect Margaret's boundaries, especially when she never ever asked for permission before doing anything, even trying to find loopholes in her daughter's request。 While it's great for the Margaret x Jagger ship because (view spoiler)[they end up having to share one bed (hide spoiler)], if you think about it objectively, it was so disrespectful。I recommend this book to people who like enemies-to-lovers romance and can stand annoying main characters while waiting for the pending character growth!Note: I received this book as an ARC on NetGalley。 Thank you for granting my wish :) 。。。more
