Okay, maybe almost 4⭐️ I really enjoyed reading it. I loved that it has very short chapters and that it's quite fast paced, or at least somehow it's quite easy to just flip the pages and read, read, read.
I feel like the characters have realistic, human issues and the epilogue doesn't do the story justice. I was expecting a bit more from it.
Overall, I'm glad I read it!
A few thoughts:
A) Regan's daughters are mentioned quite a few times so i was looking forward to Lee meeting them 🥺🥹
B) I feel like the contest not existing/Lee paying with Jason's card thing should have had a bit more explaining.
C) when Lee was at the hospital i would have loved to have a little sibling reunion, where they talked and made "amends" with the past and their regrets
D) the epilogue felt a bit empty somehow, it seemed like they were celebrating something though i have no clue what it was.

This book was both badly written. The characters were shallow - both in terms of depth, and in terms of their personalities. The romance was haphazard. The plot was choppy at parts, and it was just not an exciting read.

Perhaps even 2.5...I did not really like any of the characters.

Family dysfunction.. loads of secrets.. a lot of self loathing and woo is me.. therapy definitely advised..
Charlotte and her three children go on a cruise together and find out some shocking and not so shocking secrets about each other and their past.
This is a quick read that pulls you in from the beginning- if you are looking for a book to read in one sitting on a rainy day without interruption this is your book. But I warn you - there will be lot of unanswered questions by the time you finished reading.
