A dysfunctional family, a Mediterranean cruise, and a vacation!   

A dysfunctional family, a Mediterranean cruise, and a vacation! Our latest Book of the Week, “The Jetsetters” by Amanda Eyre Ward brings the much-needed humor and warmth and will be your best companion for the week. When seventy-year-old Charlotte Perkins submits a sexy essay to the Become a Jetsetter contest, she dreams of reuniting her estranged children: Lee, an almost-famous actress; Cord, a handsome Manhattan venture capitalist who can’t seem to find a partner; and Regan..., a harried mother who took it all wrong when Charlotte bought her a Weight Watchers gift certificate for her birthday. Charlotte yearns for the years when her children were young, when she was a single mother who meant everything to them. When she wins the contest, the family packs their baggage—both literal and figurative—and spends ten days traveling from sun-drenched Athens through glorious Rome to tapas-laden Barcelona on an over-the-top cruise ship, the Splendido Marveloso. As lovers new and old join the adventure, long-buried secrets are revealed and old wounds are reopened, forcing the Perkins family to confront the forces that drove them apart and the defining choices of their lives. #ReesesBookClub #familysaga #bookoftheweek #botw #jetsetters #bookrecommendations #bookazinehk #books #bookstagram #book #reading #booklover #bookworm #bookish #read #bookstagrammer #booknerd #bibliophile #bookaddict #instabook #booksofinstagram #bookshelf #bookaholic #reader #instabooks #author #booklove #literature #library #booklovers 展开
