The Adults by Caroline Hulse

Christmas holiday with your boyfriend, his ex, and her new boyfriend and their seven-year-old sounds like fun right? Only if your idea of fun is a root canal. In the beginning, everything is honky-dory with everyone trying to play nice and make it a fun-filled vacation for Scarlet. Scarlet is happy to have her parents back together even though she could do without the other two adults. Soon though everyone is at each other's throats and even Scarlet's imaginary giant rabbit, Posey wants to run for the hills. And then there is the archery incident. This is the story of some very childish adults and one precocious child trying to make sense of the world and their place in it. It will make you think twice about deciding who to go on holiday with.
