This one is literally sitting on my desk right now, next in the to-be-read pile. The Lifeboat Clique by Kathy Parks: Bonus pick! Romance, hilarity, and adventure, all set against wrestling with saying goodbye to someone she loves. The catch? Her grandmother is dying, and this is her saying goodbye and giving her family an amazing summer. The Loose Ends List by Carrie Firestone: This sweet book comes out in June, and focuses on a teenager that’s whisked away with her family on a cruise by her affluent grandmother. This quickly turns this romantic, YA contemporary novel into a bloody horror / thriller. Celebrities, models, you name it.Īnd they are all there to try Solu, an artificial sweetener launching on the ship that happens to have unknown side effects. Sweet by Emmy Laybourne: One of my favorite reads last year, Sweet takes place on a luxury cruise liner that’s jam packed full of the world’s elite.


It’s a wonderfully diverse read that’s full of thrills and betrayal. The Living by Matt de la Pena: Set on a cruise ship when a massive earthquake hits, The Living tosses the protagonists overboard as the cruise ship sinks, leaving them fighting to survive.Īnd not just fighting with the elements, sharks, and you know, each other.
