Jetsetters (Ward) - Book Reviews

Book Reviews
[Amanda] Ward reveals she has a way with humor.… The author’s eye for forced fun is exquisite.… There is a real poignancy in this novel, as wounded characters struggle to regain childhood loyalties. Ward nails how family expeditions are ruined and saved, over and over again, by fleeting moments of connection and the consensus to survive without killing one another.
Nre York Times Book Review


[T]he Perkins’ desperate attempts to both keep up appearances and tell their truths are interrupted by…mandatory cruise-ship fun. [D]ysfunctions run deep, and each plot twist threatens to sink their sanity, resulting in a funny, moving tale of the complications of familial love.
Booklist


Author Ward… has created a complex story that explores the tragedies and long-term effects of withheld love, verbal abuse, alcoholism, and depression…. Open, optimistic, caring, romantic, and thoughtful Giovanni—Cord’s fiance—is a highlight of the book.
