Description
A REESE'S BOOK CLUB HELLO SUNSHINE BOOK PICK
'If you're packing for spring break, be sure to include a copy!' Reese Witherspoon
'Heartwarming, funny, and poignant, The Jetsetters kept me up late turning the pages' Jean Kwok, New York Times bestselling author of Searching for Sylvie Lee
A family reunited on a holiday of a lifetime...what could possibly go wrong?
When 70-year-old Charlotte Perkins submits an 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; and Regan, a harried mother who has never forgiven Charlotte for buying her a Weight Watchers gift certificate for her birthday.
But when she wins the cruise, the reality is not quite as she expected. As they sail from sun-drenched Athens, to glorious Rome, to tapas-laden Barcelona, lovers old and new join the adventure, and long-buried secrets are revealed.
Can four lost adults find their way back to themselves, and to each other? And more importantly, can they do it without killing each other?
A funny and deliciously sun-scented novel about the courage it takes to reveal our true selves, the pleasures and perils of family, and how we navigate the seas of adulthood to cruise - we can only hope - toward joy.
'Witty, insightful, and full of heart' Christina Baker Kline, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Orphan Train
'What a joy! Treat yourself to The Jetsetters and let Amanda Eyre Ward's wit, poignancy, and insight take you away' Andrew Sean Greer, New York Times bestselling and Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Less

'What could possibly go wrong on a family cruise? Anything and everything. Funny and a little heart wrenching with characters that will be hard to forget. Happy reading!'
