There is a reason why Kristin Billerbeck is one of my favorite authors. Her books never disappoint me. The snappy and sassy narrative and dialogue endeared me to the main character, Maggie. As she circumvents, or tries to, the interactions on the singles' cruise ship, she is faced with challenges she had long ignored.

There is comedy in the book. There are also heated arguements and "burning" speeches. What I like the most is how the friendships are portrayed. It isn't all glam girls or buddy-buddy. The friendships between the women have ups and downs, but the reader sees the resilience of true friendship.

There is also romance. And it is a sweet romance that grows easily throughout the story. A romance that makes the reader smile at the end.


The theory of happily ever after has its proof: we can decide if we are truly happy in what we do. We have to be true to ourselves.

This is a highly recommended read. I love books that leave me smiling after I turn the last page.
