rebecca_isreading 's review for:
The Floating Feldmans
by Elyssa Friedland
Thanks to the publisher, via Netgalley, for an advance e-galley for honest review.
3.5ish stars, rounded. This felt a little longer than necessary, and it was hard to find likable things about almost any of the characters (not necessarily a deal breaker for me, but I know that it is for some readers). I thought the premise of trapping a semi-estranged family on a cruise together was very entertaining, and provided a great backdrop for family drama. Perspective changes felt choppy at times, and I personally would have preferred to maybe have fewer perspectives, or, if we are going to get the perspective of so many characters, devote more equal time to each of them. This story definitely did not increase my interest in ever going on a cruise, ever, but reading about them can certainly be fun.
