S.O.S.
It takes just six days and nights to cross the Atlantic on a luxury liner, but during that time, lives can be changed forever. Amidst the seething melting pot of 1600 passengers on the 'Transylvania' are David and Nicole. Nicole and her two teenage children, Rollo and Marianne, are keen on the voyage - but not David, or his mistress, Trish. Also on board are Jennifer - a youthful 39 - and her 20-year-old daughter, Stacy. If she can shake of the attentions of the maddening couple, Nobby and Aggie - veterans of the cruise world - Jennifer would like to fall for Earl, the young son of American couple Dwight and Charlene. By the time the 'Transylvania' docks in New York, the lives of all have been jarred, bruised and sexed-up, knocked-out or just plain shredded - and what seemed to be a set of inviolate futures now lies in utter disarray on the watery decks of this singular, castaway, floating city.

What a load of old rubbish

Entertaining, but a rough writing style for my tastes. Occasionally I had to reread several paragraphs at a time, once I realized there was a new narrator or two different people in a conversation.

When you’re sitting in the train feeling bored, you are cabale of reading the most uninteresting books known to man. So I did.
British boomer humour, didn’t like how the monologues were written, had trouble differentiating between each character.
3 stars because I believe it was a respectable author and separately, the theme itself was quite engaging.

memorably written but it's a tad Coronation Street on a cruise liner

This book was supposed to be funny... it wasn't. I couldn't even finish it, which is very unusual for me. It's rubbish!
