What Not to Do on Vacation by Rachel Magee

4.0

---

What Not To Do On Vacation was such a fun, feel-good read. Three sisters, one beach house, and a whole lot of history between them. Savannah’s trying to bring them back together with a nostalgia-packed summer, Bianca’s surprising everyone with a wedding and a matchmaking mission, and Cora… would really rather not be involved in any of it—but agrees to a date just to prove a point.

I loved how different the sisters were—there’s sass, heart, and plenty of laugh-out-loud moments, but also some really lovely scenes about growing up, growing apart, and figuring out how to reconnect. It’s sweet, funny, and full of that warm, summery vibe that makes it perfect for a vacation read.

🎧 Audiobook Review: Karissa Vacker absolutely nailed this audiobook. She’s so easy to listen to—it honestly felt like spending the day with a friend just telling me a really great story. She handled all four characters effortlessly, and I never once got confused about who was speaking. Every voice had its own vibe, and the emotional shifts? So natural. The banter felt even snappier, the quiet moments hit harder, and the whole family dynamic came through in such a real, relatable way. She made the whole experience even better.

Thank you @rachelmageeauthor, @harpermusebooks and @uplitreads for the #gifted book. All opinions expressed are my own.
