The Cruise by Christina Delay

 I’m not sure what to say about this book. It was a quick read, started and finished in a couple of hours in a single sitting. 


I tried to find something in it to like, but everything, from the premise to the characters, was so messed up. Jesse is a completely unrealiable narrator whose blackouts and strangeness should prevent her from having any sort of job much less one where she goes off on her own and functions as a travel writer. She needs a lot more therapy that’s for certain. Her mom is also a complete whack job and how she insinuates herself on the cruise was unbelievable until you realize that the plot depends on her being along.  So they take a cruise absoard the same ship they were on when husband and father died 20 years ago. Same guy on the ship who was there back then and misled them all is still there — and he has the hots for Jesse and she for him.  Bad stuff happens. It’s all a blur.


I wouldn’t waste your time by encouraging you to read this. But, thanks to the publisher for the ARC. I’m sorry it was just not for me. 

This is a standalone and is not part of any series.

Genre - psychological thriller
