Over all I enjoyed this book. I like the way it kept me interested in what could possibly happen next. Lots of twist and turns with some humor. I felt as if I was on a carnival cruise 🚢.The feel of the book and pages felt kind of weird compared to other books that I have read lol. The pages felt cheap..🤣
This book was something a middle schooler would read for a summer read. It was an easy book to read and not that engaging.
I really enjoyed this book! Izzy dreaded going on the cruise with her family and leaving her boyfriend, but when she boarded, she quickly became friends with Jade, who also didn’t want to be there. Izzy, and more quiet and bookwormish , while Jade is more on the adventurous and wild side, but they clicked and started hanging out. But when Jade disappears , the speculations begin. Was it suicide? Was the tales of the ships curse more than a tale, or is there something more sinister going on. Izzy, has her own beliefs and it doesn’t matter what everyone else says, she is determined to find out what happened to her friend….but at what cost?
Girl Overboard was a quick read for me and it did keep my interest. The ending felt a tad bit rushed, but it all came together.A mention of Doris Day in any book gets bonus points from me!3.75 stars!
Girl Overboard is a solid 3 star read for me. There’s really nothing wrong with the story aside from the believability and I read it in one sitting. It’s fast faced, has a good mystery, and is perfect for summer as it takes place on a cruise. I don’t think I’ve ever read a book with this setting either which is one of the main reasons I wanted to read it! If you’ve enjoyed THE WOMAN IN CABIN 10 by Ruth Ware and are looking for a young adult version of that then this would be the perfect summer read for you!𝗣𝗘𝗥𝗙𝗘𝗖𝗧 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗙𝗔𝗡𝗦 𝗢𝗙:• YA Mysteries• Books set on Cruises• Summer Themed Reads𝗠𝗬 𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗚: ⭐⭐⭐
