American fantasy / Emma Straub.

Straub, Emma (author).

Summary:

"When the American Fantasy cruise ship sets sail for a four-day themed voyage, aboard are all five members of a famous 1990s boy band, and three thousand screaming women who have worshipped them for thirty years. Newly divorced and with an empty nest, Annie is on board as a lark to appease her sister. Once a diehard fan of the band as a teen, her tastes have matured, and she feels out of place amid the sea of bedazzled, air-brushed t-shirts bearing the singers' faces. Yet when the lights come up and the idols of her youth begin to sing before her, something is unlocked. ... Between the slushy alcoholic drinks, the music of her youth, and the thousands of middle-aged women acting like lovesick teenagers, Annie finally reconnects to a long-submerged part of herself. By the time she comes in contact with Keith, the band's slightly depressed, fifty-something lead singer--not just a celebrity but someone clearly in need of a friend--she feels like anything is possible"-- Provided by publisher.
