A review by _basicbookworm
Jasmine and Jake Rock the Boat by Sonya Lalli

4.0

When Jasmine agrees to join her parents on their Alaskan cruise after a breakup, the last thing she expects is for the cruise to be a seniors cruise. However, there is one other young person on the cruise, and he is very attractive. But then she realizes Jake is the boy she babysat at an event years ago, and to make it worse they cannot stop butting heads. Being on a cruise, they can’t help but spend time together, and as they do, they realize they may have more similarities than they first expected.

First, let me start by saying this book made me want to go on an Alaskan cruise. The descriptions of the setting were incredible! While the romance in this one wasn’t my favorite, I really enjoyed the family dynamic in the story. The large extended family added a lot of character and fun to the story, as well as a commentary on sexist standards that women face. Overall, this was an enjoyable read!

Thanks to Berkley Publishing for the advance copy and to @berittalksbooks and @dg_reads for the buddy read!
