This was ok, I didn't hate it. There were moments I actually enjoyed but they were few and far between. For the most part the characters didn't resonate with me and I'm not sure I liked them all that much. The plot was meh, it all wrapped up too easily and quickly in a nice little package.
Meh. Sorry Reese, but this ain't it. Perhaps it's because I read fiction to escape the mundane that this didn't work for me; this book from start to finish is prosaic and unexceptional. A dysfunctional family goes on a cruise and that's literally it. Regretful read.
