About this ebook

“[This] masterful novel opens as a comical potential romance, becomes suspenseful, then horrific, and ends as a gripping action-adventure survival story.” —VOYA

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 try the 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!

“Simultaneously terrifying, hilarious, and action-packed, Sweet is a wild ride that holds up a warped mirror to our society. I loved it from the first line to the last.” ―New York Times–bestselling author Marie Lu

“Sure to enthrall readers . . . required summer reading.” ―VOYA (starred review)

When you start reading this book it seems like it could an amazing and fast paced adventure novel with a love interest between the two main characters,but the book has so much going on that you couldn't focus on what exactly was happening. I read it over twice hoping I could get a better feel of the characters and the plot , but I honestly couldn't truly enjoy what could have been on amazing book because the author crammed too much into pages. I wish she had slowed it down a bit.

I couldn't get past the "free sample" pages little loan the whole book. Shame really I thought the prequel "Expelled" was ok.
