🌴 THE VACATION by Carol Kowalczik 🌴

A Perfect Getaway. A Dangerous Temptation. A Family on the Brink.

Nearly a decade ago, fourteen-year-old Jessica wanted nothing more than to spend the summer with her friends, chasing freedom and first crushes. Instead, she was dragged to a Florida condo with a fractured family — a distant mother, a passive father, and a younger sister who seemed to receive the love Jessica no longer felt.

That vacation ended in tragedy.

Now, as an adult, Jessica returns to the same resort, but what is she truly looking for? An opportunity to heal old wounds? Or to simply remember what it was like to be part of a family that no longer exists?

When she meets Mark, Rachel, and their five-year-old daughter Chloe, Jessica sees an opportunity to connect with the loving family she missed out on. But behind closed doors, small moments begin to shift. Misunderstandings deepen, and emotions spiral. What should have been a harmless escape becomes something darker — a chain of choices that no one can take back.

Told through multiple perspectives, The Vacation explores the fragile space between adolescence and adulthood, the unseen weight carried inside families, and how quickly ordinary moments can turn irreversible. As secrets surface and trust begins to fracture, one question lingers:

How well do we really know the people we love most?

Perfect for readers who enjoy emotionally driven suspense with psychological depth, The Vacation is a gripping reminder that sometimes the most dangerous place isn’t far from home — it’s right beside the people who know you best.

The Vacation is a domestic suspense novel that blends family drama and psychological suspense with the tension of a vacation thriller. Perfect for fans of Freida McFadden, Mary Kubica, and Sally Hepworth.
