The Loose Ends List by Carrie Firestone
3.0
I wasn't entirely sure what to expect from this but I decided to pick it up as it sounded unique to anything I've read before, and it definitely was. But I'm still not totally decided on how I felt about it. Some things I enjoyed, others not so much.
I think my favourite part of the whole book was the travel element. I really enjoyed the descriptions of each individual country. I felt as though I was travelling the world with them and loved it!
Despite it being a character driven story, I didn't find myself truly connecting with a lot of the characters. They weren't 'unlikable', I just didn't really warm to them or personally relate to them all that much. I also found the romance to be very rushed, it went from 1-100 within a page and I honestly didn't feel much for it.
There was this slightly cynical and rude humour within the families which was fun and the whole premise surround the idea of the cruise was definitely interesting!
Each individual family had their own unique story which I thought was really sweet, although it did get a little confusing at times when trying to fit each of the many characters to their name and backstory. I think Paige, Lane and Gracie were my favourites, their story was heartbreaking. :')
This was enjoyable enough but on the whole I didn't enjoy it as much as I had hoped I would.
