๐ About this Book
Seventy-year-old Charlotte Perkins enters a โBecome a Jetsetterโ contest hoping for something bigger than a holiday: a chance to bring her estranged family back together.
When she unexpectedly wins, Charlotte takes her three adult children, Lee, Cord, and Regan, on a ten-day European cruise from Athens through Rome to Barcelona. Naturally, putting an emotionally complicated family on a luxury ship together works about as smoothly as one would expect.
Old resentments resurface, secrets come out, relationships are tested, and the Perkins family is forced to confront the choices and wounds that pushed them apart in the first place.

โค๏ธ Why Sumaia Recommends It
This looks like a light holiday read at first, but there is much more family drama underneath all the sunshine and beautiful destinations.
I like stories about complicated families where every character is carrying something they have never properly dealt with, and this book gives you plenty of that.
It is funny, messy, emotional, and perfect when you want literary fiction that still feels easy and entertaining to read.
