The Engagement Party

When eight parents, step-parents and partners are invited to Wayne and Clarissa’s engagement party a catastrophe is on the cards.
With one week to go before their families are to meet for the first time, making the celebration a pleasant experience for all is going to be tricky. In fact, the obstacles seem insurmountable. Number One: the two families are from vastly different social backgrounds. Number Two: there are severe tensions between the exes. Number Three: some of the new relationships are falling apart.
During the week leading up to the party things are going from bad to worse as events unroll and histories are unearthed. Doubts, lies and misunderstandings abound and the stress of it all is threatening Wayne and Clarissa's relationship.
This satirical dive into family life, laced with wry British humour, will help the reader appreciate that however bad things are in their own family, it could be a lot worse!
