Marco’s always done the right thing. But now it’s time for wrong answers only.

Marco should be at university, studying biomedicine. Instead, he’s been sent to live on a cruise ship in the Mediterranean with his estranged uncle, all because of a ‘blip’ everyone else is convinced was a panic attack. (Which it most definitely was not.)

And even though Marco’s trip is supposed to provide answers – about himself, about his family – all he finds on board the Ocean Melody are more and more questions.

But then his best friend CeCe proposes a new plan- for someone who has always done the right thing, in every possible way, it’s time for Marco to get a few things wrong. And hooking up with a hot dancer from the ship is only the beginning . . .

‘Wrong Answers Only shines. It is a wonderfully funny and heartfelt novel that is also intensely, relatably human.’ JENNIFER NIVEN, #1 New York Times bestselling author of All the Bright Places

Wrong Answers Only
By Tobias Madden
Review by Kazia

Packed with irrepressible characters and overflowing with flirtatiousness, this was an incredibly fun read (though I’ll admit that it had a stronger emotional impact on me than I had been expecting.) Oh, how I wish that my anxious teenage self could have been whisked away on a European cruise and left to my own -somewhat misguided- devices.

Reading this was a bit of rollercoaster, torn between wanting to shake some sense into the protagonist and deeply feeling for him. This book was part glamorous, rule-breaking, sweet youthful freedom and part heartfelt commentary on how complicated family can be. There were passages that struck a painfully familiar chord, touching on what we owe to those we love and what we owe to ourselves. Overall, this was a cute and breezy read and I enjoyed the ride. For fans of The Breakup Lists.
