review 1: What a fabulous book, really enjoyed it and couldn't put it down. This is the first Sue Welfare book i have read and it will not be the last. The book stats of with sister's Suzie and Lizzie planning a surprise party for there parents 40th wedding anniversary. But families being families things don't go according to plan. A number of events happen and the party goes ahead with a few hitches. There is a big family secret that Jack and Rose haven't told there daughters, and when they Suzie and Lizzie find out put it this way they are both not very happy with the parents and wonder what else they have been keeping from them. All in all it was a fab book and i am very much looking forward to reading her next book.
review 2: Families - who'd have them? The funny re... moread takes place on the day of The Surprise Party and follows the preparations for the party and the entangled lives of many of the guests are revealed. The party is not the only Surprise! It quickly becomes apparent that this family has many secrets and coming together for a family 'do' is not going to be smooth running. As with any family there are relatives coming from far and wide, all with their own colourful character, charm and ways. All the ingredients for a get together of people who would usually avoid each other. I could identify with this scenario of expecting a family gathering to just run itself without a hitch. Don't think that has ever been achieved.For all the preparation and manouvering to ensure the event goes to plan, Suzie and Liz, sisters, who tolerate each other to host this party, just cannot achieve the impossible as the surprises just keep coming, right to the very end.I really enjoyed being a guest at this Surprise Party which had enough action to keep Suzie and Liz in the gossip coloumns for a month or two. Great story, great characters, and would suit Chick-lit, romance, and over 40's chick-lit fans.5 out of 5 for me!Thank you to the publishers for sending me a copy of this book for review. I did not receive any payment for my honest review. This did not influence my review in any way. less
