Summer at Sea

De: Beth Labonte

Narrado por: Erin Spencer

Four jackets of varying weights, enough socks for the entire Confederate Army, three umbrellas, most of the antacid aisle from the local pharmacy, and six pairs of old-people sneakers that all look exactly the same. Have you ever helped your parents pack for a weeklong cruise? No? I didn't think so. So shut it.

So begins vacation for Summer Hartwell - 26 years old, living with her anxiety-ridden parents, and unwillingly booked by her brother on a weeklong cruise to Bermuda. Despite the nightmare of being trapped aboard a cruise ship with Mom and Dad, Summer sees a rare opportunity to fulfill The Prophecy - her mother's declaration that she will live at home until she gets married. With 2,000 passengers onboard, at least one of them must be husband material, right?

The only problem is Graham Blenderman - her brother's best friend who is joining them for the week in all of his tall, blonde, extroverted glory. Graham doesn't believe Summer needs a husband in order to break free from her parents. He thinks she just needs a little bit of nerve. And to Summer's introverted horror, he's willing to spend the entire week proving that he's right.

Ok this was fun !

This was my second book by this author and I quite enjoyed it what happens when you go on a cruise with your parents and your brothers best friend complete Mayham but what a fun ride! Not even sure what else I could write without giving away any spoilers

How is she not crazy?

I needed something that was
lighter and fun. This was a TRIP (excuse the pun) ...on a holiday ship WITH parents who are phobic, controling, and drive you crazy just for your sake! It's a maddening romp set up by The "brother's best friend" from childhood. if you read what the parents pack, the stage is set.

Lite and funny

Lite and funny easy listen for a great driving trip! My wife and I laughed so hard at this character Summer she was a huge hit !

Fun to read

The book started off hilarious! I laughed so hard I cried! It got a predictable about halfway through, but I still wanted to finish it. I did not find a lot of it as funny after about the first few chapters

Pleasant surprise

This was a pleasant story with a quirky cast of characters. I loved rolling my eyes at Summer’s parents as much as I loved cringing about their actions. I look forward to the next installment.

Charming and fun!

Lots of humor, charming characters, I really enjoyed it. Behind closed doors love scenes. :)

Oi God.

I loved everything about this book. The whole story is comical and clever and filled with so many familial good times.

I've been in a dark read binge that I needed to come up for air and this was the right choice. It's PG at worst but so very funny in an innocent and pure way.

Erin Spencer does such an amazing job narrating the elderly protective parents, as well as the main characters. Such a great performance.

Lots of laughs!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I'd just read a string of heavy, emotional books and was looking for light and refreshing. Boy, did this ever fit the bill. I listened to it on audio, and within the first few minutes, I was laughing out loud. It's a good romantic comedy, and the perfect book for when you want your happily ever after, as well a lots of laughs. Check it out!

A grown up Carribean Cruising

This is a fun romp with overbearing family, a hot crush, and a week at sea. If you are going on a cruise and are over 18: this is a great listen for the plane ride there. It takes no concentration to follow the story or characters. It has humor, a healthy dose of growing up is hard but we all have to spread our wings sometime, and a romance you see coming a mile away. Super enjoyable though.

Excellent audiobook and enjoyable reading!

I adore a cute grumpy sunshine romcom because they’re fun and lighthearted most of the time and I really had fun reading about summer and graham revisiting their past friendship and I enjoyed their fun banter.
