The Cruise by Caroline James

Hello my cozy friends,

Today I am reviewing “The Cruise” by Caroline James. What can I say other than I really enjoyed it and read in one day.  Who doesn’t want to escape on a cruise with a couple of old friends.
Three women.
One widowed.
One unmarried.
One almost divorced.
All aged 63, but not ready to give up on life!


Leaving behind the heartache, guilt and disappointment of their real lives, three friends decide that now they’re in their sixties, it’s time they finally did something for themselves!

Swapping Christmas turkeys and BBC reruns for crystal waters, white sandy beaches and smooth golden rum, Anne, Jane and Kath throw caution (and tradition) to the wind as they set sail on a luxury two-week Christmas cruise around the Caribbean.

Will the three friends find the comfort and joy they seek aboard the Diamond Star?
When I read the blurb about 3 women in their 60s setting off on a cruise, I knew I had to read this book, especially as I’m almost there myself.  The Cruise is the first book I have read by Caroline James and I can definitely say it won’t be my last.

I found the characters to be well developed, and multi-dimensional.  It’s about being true to yourself,  losing you insecurities and making new friends along the way, what a delightful read.

I will definitely read other books by this author.
I requested and received an advance reader copy of this book from One More Chapter and Netgalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Thank you for stopping by and visiting my little blog!
