Story
Emmeline lives on a remote island with her father, who teaches her about the natural world through her senses. What he won’t explain are the mysterious scents stored in glass bottles that line the walls of their cabin, or the origin of the machine that creates them. As Emmeline grows, however, so too does her curiosity, until one day the unforeseen happens, and Emmeline is vaulted out into the real world - a place of love, betrayal, ambition, and revenge. To understand her past, Emmeline must unlock the clues to her identity.

Publisher's Summary
A Reese's Book Club x Hello Sunshine Book Pick
"Are you ready to set sail on a literary adventure? This month I am listening to The Jetsetters by Amanda Eyre Ward! I love the sense of adventure in this story - it’s about a disconnected family that reunites on a cruise ship traveling through Europe. If you're packing for spring break, be sure to include a copy of this fun listen and follow along with Reese’s Book Club!" (Reese Witherspoon)
When 70-year-old Charlotte Perkins submits a sexy essay to the "Become a Jetsetter" contest, she dreams of reuniting her estranged children: Lee, an almost-famous actress; Cord, a handsome Manhattan venture capitalist who can't seem to find a bride; and Regan, a harried mother who took it all wrong when Charlotte bought her a Weight Watchers gift certificate for her birthday. Charlotte yearns for the years when her children were young and she was a single mother who meant everything to them.
When she wins the cruise, the family packs all their baggage - literal and figurative - and spends 10 days traveling from sun-drenched Athens through glorious Rome to tapas-laden Barcelona on an over-the-top cruise ship, the Splendido Marveloso. As lovers new and old join the adventure, long-buried secrets are revealed, and the Perkins family is forced to confront the defining choices in their lives.
Can four lost adults find the peace they've been seeking by reconciling their childhood aches and coming back to each other? In the vein of The Nest and The Vacationers, Ward has created a delicious and intelligent novel about the courage it takes to reveal our true selves, the pleasures and perils of family, and how we navigate the seas of adulthood to cruise - we can only hope - toward joy.

Not quite the beach read that I had hoped for
After seeing The Jetsetter's advertised as part of Reese Witherspoon's 'Hello Sunshine' book club, I decided to pick it up, hoping for a light and airy Summer read to escape the quarantine blues.
Boy, was I wrong!!
That is not to say that The Jetsetters was not a good book. It was. However, instead of a light Summer story, I found myself left with a novel that got more depressing as the book went on, and the characters bordered on unlikeable.
In terms of narration, Therese Plummer did an excellent job. Although, I noted that there were many awkward pauses throughout the novel, and a few words were cut short (possibly during the editing of the audiobook). These issues were not a dealbreaker for me, but they did interrupt the flow of the narrative.
Overall, while The Jetsetters was not the beachy read that I hoped for, I did find myself enjoying this book for the most part; it held my attention, which is generally the most crucial part of a story for me.

That was depressing
I think this was supposed to be a journey that ended with the characters self realization. It depressed me throughout and that compounded with each scene and chapter. I was in too deep before I realized the lift might never happen.
The characters are, I don't know... Emotionally inept. Reece usually does not steer me wrong but, oh boy, this was a fail.

Had high hopes...
This book started off pretty good and it had my interest. However it never peaked. It just kind a got boring and old and there seem to be no climax to the book. Now granted I have three hours left but I’m forcing myself to listen to the rest of it. It could be that I just read an incredible book from the Sunshine book club and so that is why this one is a major disappointment or could be just that it is really just not that good of a book. The narrator also did not add anything to the story. It irritated me that she did not Use the appropriate accent for each of her characters. She made Charlotte sound like some kind of old fuddy-duddy when really she’s just a Southern Belle. Why didn’t they have southern accents? Why did Peter from England sound like he was from Australia? I really think the narrator could’ve done a better job . This will not go down as one of my favorite books from Reese’s picks and if the last three hours proves to get better I’ll revise my rating. But if it wasn’t for the book club I would stop reading right now.

I am uncertain why this book has such high reviews. It was mind-numbingly tedious. The "twists" and big reveals were anything but. I'd rather watch paint dry. Skip this one, save the credit.

Wanted to like this book
I was very disappointed with this book. Therese Plummer is one of my favorite narrators and the narration was not great. Too many characters to try and do. Also the story seemed all over the place and too depressing. I also feel like I am still questioning the ending and what happened to Lee. I feel like lots of loose ends. I wold not waste a credit on this book. I would love to hear an honest review from Reese Witherspoon. I love her and most of her book choices but this one not so much.

This was as Reese Witherspoon book club one?
I usually enjoy Reese Witherspoon’s book club reads, but not so much this one. In fact, am really surprised it made her list. The characters were shallow and no complexity. The premise for the book made for a fabulous read but fell really short. The story did not flow and I kept on feeling I had missed sections that weren’t there. To summarize, it was just fluff, not completely horrible but not worth using a credit on.

Not sure why this is a Reese's book club selection
This book is average at best. The story is ok. It is essentially a story about 3 kids and their mother going on trip together and delving into each of their neurotic meanderings. its got some good family issues and focuses on how we all struggle with being ourselves but it doesn't really go very deep. it is ok, just not great.

Is this is a romance novel?
I listened to this book on audible. I am sure it would have been a different experience if I would have read it, I think I would have given it a higher rating. The narrator was almost panicky telling the story, which did fit with the characters story lines , but it annoyed me a little. Amanda Eyre Ward must have been a food writer at some point her descriptions of the food where so real it made me hungry, She also did a great job of creating a vision of the Mediterranean with her words and described the feeling of a cruise ship experience so well… It brought me right back to my trip to the Mediterranean. The story line about a dysfunctional family and traveling together was relatable. I found myself liking and hating the main character, Charlotte. By the end you will be cheering for her happy ending, The plot involves a romance novel and some of the writing is a bit too much like a cheesy romance novel for my liking but it made sense to include it, However I don't read "steamy" romance novels on purpose so it got to be a bit much and I fast forwarded through those parts.
