Do Not Become Alarmed - Maile Meloy

Liv and Nora are close cousins, who take their husbands and children away on a cruise.  When a day trip turns disastrous, everyone is forced to question their relationships and question everything.  The children find themselves having to think quickly to survive, while the parents are falling apart.

 At times I really enjoyed this book, and can easily see it as a movie that plays late on a weekday night, and at other  moments I became a bit frustrated as it seemed to skip over areas that I think weren't covered.  Maybe it just pays to not think too deeply and just go with the flow of the story. 3/5

No, I think if a story skims over parts that might be too hard for the author, it is a valid criticism.
