Seven days. One Italian coastline. Four daughters. Zero rest.
Cristian and Linda thought they knew what "family beach vacation" meant. Then they left with Beatrice and Ginevra, three-year-old twins who communicate through a secret language of grunts and pointed fingers (a strategy, they're convinced, designed from birth to drive their parents insane), Elodie, five, a tireless mermaid who doesn't stop talking even underwater, and Rebecca, twelve, half volunteer babysitter, half unreachable behind a phone glued to endless chats with countless unidentifiable "Besties."
The Devil Wears Swimsuits is the ironic, day-by-day story of a week that runs from booking the hotel (with the classic "two connecting rooms" that never actually connect) all the way to the drive home, passing through:
The beach, where the parents end up sunburned under the umbrella while the girls, perpetually in the water, come out perfectly tanned
The dinner table, where the twins eat strictly standing on their chairs, spilling everything within reach
Evening walks, past identical toy shops that are somehow "brand new" every time for Elodie, and endless swimsuit try-ons for Rebecca
A sleepless night, a tooth that falls out twice, a phone lost to the sea, and a diaper that simply refuses to retire
Every chapter weaves the story together with sharp nuggets of wisdom and genuinely useful practical tips, for anyone about to face (or already facing) the same epic adventure.
Perfect for:
Parents of multiple young kids looking for a laugh of true recognition
Anyone planning their first "big family" beach trip who wants to mentally prepare
A fun, original gift for families with small children
You will not come home rested. But you'll come home alive, tanned (or sunburned), and with a story to tell for years.
