I was disappointed with this book. You never really got the chance to develop any feeling for any of the women on the trip, so you aren't too worried if they live or die on their adventure. Oddly enough the couple of the male characters are more interesting, the women...who are supposed to be why we are reading the book....seem very shallow and uninteresting. There was only really exciting part where you get caught up in what is about to happen.
Its a real pity, because I thought this was going to be the perfect summer read and it just left me with a "so what" feeling about the main characters.

I really liked this book. It started out really slow but then it became very exciting very fast. A great summer read.

This was a great book about the relationships between the women (with friends and with the daughter, who also has her own unique relationship with each of her mother's friends which adds to the story) and about the strengths and weaknesses in the relationships. I was afraid it was going to be a 'hokey' story about being lost at sea and dealing with unrealistic pirates. Instead, I thought it was realistic and the characters and the story have stayed with me long after reading the book. And it wasn't hokey at all... very good read!

Tracey, Olivia, Holly and Janis, are four best friends from high school. Three of them, along with Tracey's college age daughter, set sail on a private sailboat for a reunion cruise. What follows will have you reading this book well into the night because, like me, you won't be able to put it down.

It wasn't an awful book. I was enjoying it until more than halfway through when it because so predictable and drama queen like.
If you don't want to think too hard and want something similar to what I'd call a beach read, this give it a try.
