Part two is just as much fun as part one and continue with Harry and Lacey's escapades - usually involving women, drink and sailing away quickly.
Some more characters are introduced, mainly ladies thanks to Lacey's good looks including Gertie who absolutely terrified me!
There are a few hints in this book that Harrys relationship with his dying father is not all good and a few different emotions are portrayed. This is written extremely well and you get a real feeling of being there on the boat and being a part of it all.
Looking forward to part three but not wanting it to end. A bit like looking forward to Christmas but not wanting it to be over!

This is the second part (of three) of Mark Green's new novel. I received a free copy in return for an honest review.
This carried on directly from the first, with Harry and Lacey frantically trying to escape the wrath of Wayne. Lacey continues to make witty and pithy comments on Harry's actions, as well as being a total babe magnet, and frantically trying to drink his Guinness, while the flow of words continues to swell and flow, with a growing sense that time is running out - but why?
Again, the story ends on a cliffhanger, and I was so glad I already had part 3 queued up!

The second part of this trilogy was just as funny as the first. I can't wait to read the next part. I hope all of my unanswered questions are answered, like what happened to Harry?? Where's Keith?? What will happen with his dad?? Will Harry and Lacey find love??
