I did like that the chapters were short and quick, but I found the writing choppy. I just did not connect with the characters, and feel like even the outcomes that happened were predictable and flat. The Jetsetters is a slim dysfunctional family book that mainly takes place on a cruise that the lead character Charlotte has won. Flipping between Charlotte’s back story and her three children is fun up to a point. There seems to be a disingenuous quality to the writing. Despite being Charlotte’s story, her character is the least developed. Plus there is a sameness to the dialogue between the children. Still it is entertaining fluff. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

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. Can four lost adults find the peace they've been seeking by reconciling their childhood aches and coming back together? In the vein of The Nest and The Vacationers, The Jetsetters is a delicious and intelligent 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.
