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 bride; 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 and she was a single mother who meant everything to them. When she wins the cruise, the family packs all their baggage--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 the Perkins family is forced to confront the defining choices in their lives. Can four lost adults find the peace they've been seeking by reconciling their childhood aches and coming back to each other?

Sei lá

Geralmente eu gosto de livro que é só os personagens vivendo a vida, sem grandes acontecimentos, afinal, não é meio que a maioria dos casos na vida real?

mas me pareceu que durante a história a autora se empolgou nos traumas dos irmãos e resolveu ir além de um livro assim, aí esqueceu que nesse caso era bom desenvolver um final melhor e cuidadoso em vez de terminar do jeito que foi 🙄

claramente o povo precisava de terapia, antes, durante e depois do fim

mais um caso de: não abandonei porque foi audiobook
