Rezension von ben_xo.xo[Rezension enthält spoiler] Ich fande das Buch in den ersten beiden Drittel wirklich gut. Aber dann wurde für mich die Geschichte nur noch absurd und hatte meiner Meinung nach nicht mehr mit der Kreuzfahrt zu tun. Es ging nämlich nur noch um die Familie und nicht mehr um den Urlaub. Das Epilog fande ich auch nichtsaussagend. :( Meine Sternebewertung im Überblick: Personen 4/5⭐️ Handlung 4,5/5⭐️ Schreibstil 5/5⭐️ Look 4,5/5⭐️ Gesamt 18/20⭐️ [Mein erstes Buch der Autorin Amanda Eyre Ward]
