Not bad. No surprises or major plot twists, but a nice story about a family and their travel business.

I really liked this book a lot. The characters were fun to follow. I thoroughly enjoyed that the author took the time to fully wrapped things up in a proper manner. I hate it when you're going along and then all of a sudden it feels like the author calls it quits and finishes the thing up in 10 pages. I will definitely give her other books a try.

Really cute story, especially the romance. The mystery was also interesting but rather obvious, I thought. It's a nice book, a light reading perfect for rainy mornings when you have nothing to do (or so you say). I loved the romance between Patrick and Harriet and I also would've liked to see more of Nina and Austin. All in all, it was a great book.

First full-length book on my new Nook!
Family Baggage was different from the typical reasons I like McInerney's novels. It has the Australia/England dual setting and the light romance, but it also has a viewpoint I have never read before: tour guide. This past summer, my family and I went on a combo land/sea tour of Alaska, and while Harriet, McInerney's protagonist, is extremely different from the guide we had, I still enjoyed seeing the trip from that vantage point. While the book was slightly predictable and the end cleaned up a bit too neatly, I still enjoyed it. It isn't of the same caliber as Lauren Willig, but it is definitely still superb quality chick lit.

Unmemorable, but a fun, light read. Good beach reading.
