Da ich vor kurzem erst ein anderes Buch dieser Autorin las und nur leidlich erträglich fand, war ich zumindest gewarnt. Aber dieses hier entpuppte sich doch als deutlich besser, obwohl sich die Handlung doch ganz schön hinzog. Normalerweise hätte ich bei solchen Büchern das Ende nach dem lang ersehnten Jamaika-Urlaub erwartet, aber dann ging es doch noch einige Monate weiter (in denen so gut wie nix geschah). Die Art & Weise, wie Ella dann mit ihrem Liebsten erstmals zusammenkommt fand ich recht komisch und wirklichkeitsfremd, aber gut. Für Frauen, die sich für das Tauchen interssieren (ich nicht), ist das Buch wahrscheinlich ganz gut, da es wohl kaum viele andere chick-lit Bücher zu diesem Thema gibt.
