Publisher's Summary
Meet the Dobsons and the Jamiesons: two ordinary families on the verge of a nervous breakdown.
Joe Dobson left his wife and kids when his young girlfriend, Nina, discovered she was pregnant. Now he feels like a cliche and Nina feels like a drudge, swapping her wild nights out with friends for mild nights in wiping baby sick off the carpet. So when Joe announces that he's booked a week's luxury holiday in Italy, Nina is thrilled - until she realises Joe's kids, Saul and Tabitha, are coming along for the ride.
Meanwhile Guy Jamieson is sure this will be his last family holiday; he plans to leave his wife, Alice, on his return. Guy is a high-powered advertising director and Alice - with her elasticated skirts, inedible mince suppers and unshaven legs - just doesn't fit his image. But Alice has a secret plan of her own: to have another baby....
Funny, smart and refreshingly honest, Having a Lovely Time is all about infidelity, jealousy, resentment, recriminations and, just occasionally, love - from the Sunday Times best-selling author Jenny Eclair.

Love this book
Have re read this book so many times & it is even better hearing Jenny Eclair read it , it has so many laugh out loud moments, I hate to say it but there at least a few times when I think the descriptions of Alice sound like me 😂

Hmm
I wanted to like this book but I just found it offensive and crass. All the characters were unlikeable but maybe that was the point.
