I actually kind of loved this book. The only reason it's not getting 5 stars is that it needed to be longer and it is very rare that I say that about a book. They did kind of go from the men getting in a punching fight on a cruise to everyone being happy together in 2 chapters though, with very little processing done. I don't know. Maybe sometimes you just gotta punch someone. So this book had a very extended beginning and a very satisfying ending, but it was like the author didn't want to deal with the messy middle. But like I said I really loved it, so it gets 5 stars anyway. Maybe 4.5 stars.
The audiobook performance is highly recommended listening.

"The Floating Feldmans" and all their problems and drama decide to take a cruise together. It's funny and sweet. The family has to let out their secrets to grow back together, and they get into a lot of shenanigans along the way. I recommend it if you're looking for a beach read that isn't a romance or thriller.

Breezy dysfunctional family drama on the high seas as tensions and secrets are revealed on the matriarch's birthday cruise. Chapters from different perspectives detail each character's issues at length, but it lost steam when it came time to confront one another and sort things out.
