Reviews with content warning for Suicide - The Jetsetters

Mother is super hypocritical, annoying, irritating, and degrading. The family is hot trash and it’s all because of her life choices. She needs therapy, not a priest. Besides that, the buildup to the “mystery” each family member deals with in the book barely scratch the surface of explaining what they were. I felt like I kept missing information as I progressed, which made me go back and see if I did miss something, only to find out that I didn’t. Even the suicide attempt was glossed over as a no big deal.

The overall storyline was interesting, so that’s why it got a 2 star instead of a 1 star, cause the rest felt like it was half-assed.

For a book so focused on the inter generational trauma of this family, I felt like the characters were pretty 1 dimensional. There was so much time spent on the psychological trauma they all endured in their separately in their self centered lives and then suddenly the book was over and it was all wrapped up with a bow. I did like they way Regan’s storyline twists.

2.0

I loved the mysterious aspect of this book however, the ending was ridiculous. the whole story in the middle of the climax just presses on the brake and ends. You don’t get an answer to any of the questions or any of the things that the characters were struggling with for the whole book. It was very frustrating because it is a phenomal book until you get to the last two chapters.
