It was so much fun reading about this young women’s journey cruising around the world. It is so cool to vicariously live through this young girls adventures and what she encounters will keep you turning the page on the edge of your seat! I really enjoyed this one! It reminded me a bit of Shailene Woodley from Adrift.

Whilst I did enjoy this book, I found the never ending scrapes the main character got into a bit repetitive,I also wasn't really sure why she felt so hard done by from her work point of view as she seemed to be off on shore at every port of call, that said the characters were warm and engaging apart from the scary boss lady,

This was a fun story of Bianca joining cruise ship crew and her escapades. She worked hard and played hard and managed to get herself into mostly amusing predicaments.

I would call this the best beach read, not only because of the story but also the chapters were short. My only complaint is the ending was a letdown. There was a conflict of sorts and a build up to the resolution and I wish it had ended there. Possibly the ending is setup for a sequel. It didn’t ruin the book for me, still an interesting story. Thanks to NetGalley and Cameron Publicity and Marketing for allowing me to read this book.

The author has really got into her characters minds and explored the different emotions.
