They’d kill to get thin.
The luxurious celebrity cruise launching the trendy new diet sweetener Solu should be the vacation of a lifetime. But Laurel is starting to regret accepting her friend Viv’s invitation. She’s already completely embarrassed herself in front of celebrity host Tom Forelli-the hottest guy ever!-and she’s too sick to even trythe sweetener. And that’s before Viv and all the other passengers start acting really strange.
Tom knows that he should be grateful for this job and the chance to shed his former-child-star image. His publicists have even set up a ‘romance’ with a sexy reality star. But as things on the ship start to get wild, he finds himself drawn to a different girl. And when the hosting gig turns into an expose on the shocking side effects of Solu, it’s Laurel that he’s determined to save.
Emmy Laybourne, author of the Monument 14 trilogy, takes readers on a dream vacation in Sweet that goes first comically, then tragically, then horrifyingly, wrong!

I’ve never seen this one before and it looks really interesting. And the blurb stating “goes first comically, then tragically, then horrifyingly, wrong!” just caught my attention.
Yes, I took my daughters on the 2000 Disney Land/Sea Celebration. We loved it! Having the characters on board and all the Disney activities were a blast. Castaway Cay was a beautiful island and we loved swimming in the clear water.
I have never been on a cruise, but I would love to go on one one day!
I have been on several cruises. It is one of my favorite ways to travel. I think the best place I have been is St. Thomas. Although, I have never had anything really crazy happen while I was cruising (knock on wood).
I have never been on a cruise. I don’t think I would enjoy one because I like having land in sight.
I have never been on a cruise before. I really want to take a cruise to somewhere tropical.
I have been on two cruises now, both Disney ones, and they were FANTASTIC!!! I couldn’t recommend a cruise more. It is so awesome to just wake up and not have to worry about anything but what fun activities you’re going to do that day.
Love it!
Thanks for the giveaway!
I have never been on a cruise! And while the idea intrigues me, it also freaks me out… and maybe (judging by this book) for good reasons hahaha ;)
I’ve been on 2 Disney cruises with family. We went to Cozumel, the Bahamas, St. Martin and a few other islands. It was so fun and I hope to go on another one soon!
I have it was to Cancun & Cozumel! Cruising was fun just bc I had turned 18 the day we boarded and so I was either tipsy or drunk or sleeping off the alcohol. So yeah it was fun! Lol I was broke so I went to ALL of the little events like auctions bc I found out they serve open bar to potential buyers. ;)
No cruise here but would love to take my kids on a Disney cruise.
I would love to go on a cruise in the Mediterranean. But I need to learn how to swim before something like that, just in case. ??
I want to read this book. It reminds me of ‘Bad Taste in Boys’ by Carrie Harris and the TV show iZombie ?
