Main Topics of Discussion: Cruising, relationships, Mystery-writing, suspending disbelief
Our favorite quote: “There’s a reason why we keep thoughts inside our heads for the most part—they’re not safe to be let out in public.”
Notes: We universally had issues with this book, despite our high overall rating. It's not that we hated it, but we definitely didn't love it. It was quick and kept our interest, which is why we didn't knock it too much. But just a feeling of overall disbelief prevented us from rating it higher. Literally every part of the plot was just so unbelievable. The author really stretched what she could expect a reader to go along with in this one. And we didn't love any of the characters, which makes it hard to connect and get invested in the story.
Memorable Meeting Moments: We discussed this book in the Star Lounge aboard the Mariner of the Seas on our Book Club cruise! We picked it because it took place on a cruise too.
What We Ate: We ate cookies from the Promenade Cafe and some of us had coffee and tea during our discussion.
