5.14.2026 - The Shippers

The Shippers by Katherine Center

Many thanks to NetGalley, St Martin's Press, and Macmillan Audio for gifting me both a digital and audio ARC of the latest rom-com by Katherine Center, with the audiobook perfectly narrated by Patti Murin.  All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 4.5 stars!

JoJo is bad at love, and along with her sister, who is getting married on a cruise ship, decide to end that once and for all.  She feels like her childhood crush is holding her back and that he's really the one she should be with.  JoJo also gets her childhood best friend, Cooper, to be her wing man for this venture.  Let the shipboard antics begin!

I'm not always a big romance book fan, but will always sign up to read anything Katherine Center writes.  They are just happy books!  This one starts out with a note from the author ensuring you that there will be a happy ending, so never fear!  There are a lot of opportunities here for second chances, and you won't be able to resist Cooper.  JoJo is a bit immature for her genius brain, but she's still one that you will root for her happy ending.  I loved having both the book and the audiobook to get fully immersed, and Patti Murin's narration is always top notch.  Pack this one in your back for your summer vacation!
