Thank you SO MUCH for letting us stay at your villa. It's gorgeous, and we're having a fab time looking after it and enjoying the view of the mountains and the lovely olive grove. I figured out the bus to Ercos on the first day here -- it's as easy as you said! And Miguel's son Juan is helping us take care of everything, so you needn't worry at all!
Love, Laura

Better than Grecian Holiday, but not anything special,
By Willow (Michigan) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Spanish Holiday: Or, How I Transformed the Worst Vacation Ever into the Best Summer of My Life (Paperback)
After reading Grecian Holiday and Hard Cash (both by Kate Cann, and only mediocre books), I thought I'd give SPANISH HOLIDAY a try. It was better than I expected, but it's still just a fast paced "beach read."
SPANISH HOLIDAY is about four friends taking a trip through Spain before they head off to college - you have Yaz, the gorgeous best friend; Laura, the main character that's looking for love; Ruth, the lovesick, wishy-washy one; and Tom, Ruth's boyfriend...he's hated by Yaz and Laura. Anyway, Tom's driving, so he gets to decide where to go. Laura and Yaz are less than pleased with this arrangement, but they don't see any way around it. Eventually, the girls get Tom to let them stay in a small Spanish town for a few weeks, where Yaz and Laura both meet (and fall for) Juan, the cute Spanish repairguy. Of course Laura and Yaz are fighting for his attention, and Tom and Ruth think they're ridiculous. But then everything changes... SPANISH HOLIDAY isn't a great book - in fact, it's painfully predictable. Regardless, it's a cute story that helps to pass the time. It's definately not for anyone under fourteen, and to be completely honest, I thought there was a little too much talk about sex (no, don't worry, there aren't any hot and heavy scenes). Kate Cann seems to be getting better with every release, and I do recommend this for just fun, relaxing reading. Overall grade - B

This review is from: Spanish Holiday: Or, How I Transformed the Worst Vacation Ever into the Best Summer of My Life (Paperback)
Spanish Holiday was a book I picked from the book store due to curiosity. The book reminded me of Havana Nights;Dirty Dancing for some reason, so I had to get it. I started reading the book and was disapointed due to the style in which the book was written. I thought the author was a beginner writer. The book was filled mainly of dialuage, but once I got used to it, I enjoyed the book. A group of friends arrive in Spain. Tom is an angry person who's quite self stuck on him. Tom and his girlfriend Ruth spend a lot of closeness together, not scared of showing their affection for one another. Yaz and Laura travel without a companion, but are very anxious to get to meet some opposite sex hotties. The group travels and experiances hotel problems, car black outs and much more. Soon, they are offered to stay and watch over a villa. Tom is pretty angry about this, for he wants to travel more south to see more of the country. Laura pleads him to check out the house. The four drive to the house with Tom cussing because he can't find it. Finally, they find the beautiful house and all pick rooms for the time being. Laura is the most adventorous and loves exploring. She takes the transportation bus and travels into the city. SHe finds her own job teaching English. Laura seems to be having the most fun here in the house. The four meet a lad named Juan and he takes them out to night clubs and to other places. Yaz soon falls for Juan and becomes enlightenly obsessed with him. Juan fixes up the pool in the house and Yaz follows him, talks to him, and fluants him with her body. The two lovebirds; Tom and Ruth soon grow sick of the house and leave to go down south. Now, the two girls Laura and Yaz are left alone in the house to themself. Juan soon speaks his feelings and tells Laura that he really likes her and not Yaz. What will happen to Yaz now that her heart is broken? How will Laura's relationship process with Juan. What will happen to Tom and Ruth? Will they ever come back? So many questions to be answered, but I musn't spoil this for you. I enjoyed the book, it definately got better in the middle and it's a sweet Spanish romance that any young reader would swoon over. Just picture what Juan would look like...and drool comes out. I enjoyed this book, so I hope you would too.

A good book to start your Summer reading,

This review is from: Spanish Holiday: Or, How I Transformed the Worst Vacation Ever into the Best Summer of My Life (Paperback)
A couple years ago, I read "Spanish Holiday" to start my Summer reading and it is truly a really good book to do so. The book starts at the beginning of the summer when a group of friends go to Spain. This book is a really fast read, I remember I read it in less than a day. The book is in a first person narrative of Laura, the main character. You'll find yourself rooting for your Laura and all that Laura finds herself getting into. The ending really satisfying too. There aren't many books that I would reread over again but "Spanish Holiday" is definitely one that I can read over and over. So if you're looking for a good beach read for the upcoming summer season, "Spanish Holiday" should definitely be in your beach bag.
