Beach Book Series

Spanish Holiday is the first book in the Beach book series. In Spanish Holiday, the author, Kate Cann introduces the readers to three friends, Yaz, Laura and Ruth. Yaz, Laura and Ruth have been friends for many years and the book begins as the three plan a trip to Spain. Before leaving Ruth meets with Tom. It does not take long before the two fall in love. Unable to leave Tom behind, they all decide to head to Spain using Tom’s car. However, for Laura and Yaz, this is the end of dream holiday, when the two come to realise that Tom’s idea of a Spanish holiday was not the same as what the two had. Will the girls be able to stick together or will they be ripped apart?

With that said, Kate Cann has done an excellent job in describing the characters. Tom was not only macho but many at times he was also annoying, which made him somehow realistic. Juan is another character who stands out in the book. He is not only amazing but exceedingly sweet as well, dreamy and quite irresistible. Yaz on the other hand is somewhat cool but also exceedingly weird when she is agitated.

The author also does an excellent job in giving out descriptions about Spain, its culture, the food, the people and the landscape as well. It is clear to see that the author, Kate Cann, did provide detailed descriptions that a typical travel book would not be able to. California Holiday is the second book in the Beach series by Kate Cann. In California Holiday, Rowan has been residing in London, all her entire life.

It does not take long before Sha’s grandmother comes along. Sha begins to treat Rowan much worse than before. When Sha decided that she could not take this anymore, she decided that the iguana should be killed. This was the only way that Sha could get rid of her anger and frustrations.

Because she could not want the iguana to be killed, Rowan decides to leave and takes a bus headed to San Francisco. While heading to San Frasnsico, Rowan meets with a guy. After chatting for a while, the guy tells Rowan about the hotel where he works and also the guy convinces Rowan to go with him. Eventually, Rowan lands a job at the Kidde Heaven and things begin to get well from there forward.
