Feels like…Gossip Girl the tv series but on a boat.

So, yeah, I’m liking it so far.

Enjoying the murder mystery so far, but the most tragic thing I encountered was the calypso rock band attempting a rap with faux Jamaican accents

Just ok. I love the colors on the cover: purple, pink, yellow. Has that 90s aesthetic. The writing leaves something to be desired. It’s just kinda bland and doesn’t flow well.

The main character Carol (seriously? That old name?) has at least 3 love interests and we’re only on book 1: the lead singer in a band, a junior ship captain, and another passenger who may or may not be connected with a murder. There’s also a weird psychic girl and the killer may or may not be connected to a religious cult.
