The Jetsetters
by Amanda Eyre Ward
The Perkins are one dysfunctional family- two sisters who haven’t spoken in a decade, thanks to one marrying the other’s high school sweetheart. A widowed mother who just wants everything to be perfect and loves her children, even if she knows very little about the current affairs of their lives. And a son who has been living in the closet for most of his life, fearing rejection from his family once they know the truth about who he loves. All the family drama converges when the matriarch wins a European cruise and the family reunites for the first time in years.
I felt like there was a lot of potential in this book, and it was always sitting just on the edge of being really good, but never quite getting there. I appreciated that the author did tackle some tougher subjects, including suicide and alcoholism. It added a bit more substance to the book, but ultimately this one fell a little flat for me. It’s an easy summer read, but nothing groundbreaking. I received an ARC of this book via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
