The Vacationers by Emma Straub 292 pages



The Vacationers is a good, well written book. Franny and Jim take their daughter from New York City to Mallorca for a two week vacation at the home of a friend. Charles and his husband, Lawrence, fly to meet them there as do their son, Bobby, and his girlfriend, Carmen.

Everyone has issues and by the end of the book everyone knows everyone’s issue.  The outcome is not startling or shocking but the way Straub writes is a pleasure and the story is a good one.


I would recommend this for a beach read or a good long airplane trip.
