Publisher's summary

Fun, friendship, and romance are on board as four lifelong friends embark on a holiday singles cruise in a heartwarming new novel by number-one New York Times best-selling author Fern Michaels.

At Ridgewood High, Amy, Frankie, Rachael, and Nina formed a deep bond. Now, 15 years after leaving school behind, they’re back for a reunion, laughing, reminiscing, and chatting how much has changed - and how much hasn’t. Nina, once the star of every school play, moved to Hollywood and landed a recurring role on a sitcom. Amy, fondly known as “the brains of the operation”, is now a Silicon Valley bioengineer. Outgoing and compassionate, Frankie works for a New York publishing house. Rachael, always the most boy-crazy of the crew, married - mostly to please her parents - but is now divorced. All four are strong, successful, and somehow, still looking for the right partner. But Frankie has an idea to help solve that: a singles cruise for the holidays.

In late December, Amy, Rachael, Frankie, and Nina gather in Miami, ready to board their state-of-the-art cruise ship. The entertainment options are endless, the food is to die for, and the passenger list includes hundreds of eligible men. The highlight of the week will be a magnificent New Year’s Eve celebration with multiple theme parties, dancing, and fireworks. The ladies are happy to give Cupid a helping hand here and there - hanging mistletoe in elevators and cheering each other on through speed-dating events and shore excursions. Holidays - like the path of love itself - don’t always go exactly as planned, but over the course of one festive, unforgettable week, all four will set sail on surprising new adventures.

holiday read

I usually read a holiday book at Christmas. This was my first audio book. It held my attention but I did speed the play up.

I don't read FICTION to listen to personal opinion

This story would have been more enjoyable without the author's personal expositions on "climate change", "covid19", and social ills. I read for relaxation & enjoyment. To the author: do you want to hear MY personal beliefs & opinions? Of course you don't. And I don't want to hear yours. Leave the politics out.

A Holiday story

This was a wonderful story for the holidays. Not my usual genre, the story was well developed and the characters come to life. Ms Bennett reading was very well done. Thank for a great story just when I needed it.

Cute story

Cute and funny story. Parts of it were LOL. Held my interest throughout the chapters and did look forward to next one. Thoroughly enjoyable and would definitely recommend it.

Disappointed

Not one of Fern Michaels best books. Must say I was disappointed. There were some funny times, but I keep wanting more from the story.
