When the American Fantasy cruise ship sets sail for a four-day themed voyage, aboard are all five members of a famous 1990s boyband, 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. "Maybe that was nostalgia after all, the music a direct vein to her childhood, the least complicated part of her life. A short cut to happiness." 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 befriends one of the band members -- not just a celebrity but someone also in need of a friend -- she feels like anything is possible. But a lot can go wrong on a ship ruled by hormones and hope, frustration and fantasy.
Packed with wisdom, heart, and laugh-out-loud reflections on fame, youth, nostalgia, marriage, and middle age, Emma Straub delivers a richly textured, uplifting story about the magic of revisiting youthful feelings, and the even greater magic of starting anew.

Store description
Welcome to our shop! We're a small, home-based bookseller specializing in a curated mix of older and vintage books, including textbooks, reference volumes, and hard-to-find titles across a wide range of subjects. Every book in our inventory is hand-selected, carefully inspected, and accurately described so you know exactly what you're getting. We love the hunt as much as the find, from estate sales to library discards to garage sale gems, and we pass that variety on to you. Whether you're a student searching for an out-of-print textbook, a collector chasing a specific edition, or a reader who just loves the feel of an older book, you'll find something worth adding to your shelf here. Condition is always noted honestly, and any notable flaws such as writing, highlighting, ex-library markings, or wear are disclosed upfront. No surprises. Books are packed securely to arrive in the same condition they left us in, and we ship promptly, usually within 1 to 2 business days of purchase. We're a small operation, which means we take the time to get details right accurate editions, printings, and conditions, rather than rushing listings out the door. If you have a question about a book before you buy, don't hesitate to reach out. Thanks for stopping by, and happy reading!…
