I don't feel like anything happened in this book. I also didn't really get a sense what was so Unsinkable about Greta. It did have it's moments but

I didn't really understand her cruise fling and I don't think she made much effort to try to repair her relationship with her father, though I was surprised that he ended up coming to her show at the end. I did feel the strong relationship she had with her mother and how much her death affected her.

Soo boring. I was skipping sections towards the end just to finish it. I didn’t understand the relationship with Ben. She was on a cruise for a week and fell for someone else when she was supposed to be there for her dad? Also thought her dad was kind of an ass. I’m glad he came around at the end but didn’t understand his borderline cruel way of not supporting her ever since she was a child.

I really enjoyed this! I really liked that it took a lighter approach to dealing with grief and showed more of the not immediate aspects and emotions surrounding grief. The Alaskan cruise setting was a fun backdrop for the plot and emotions happening. The relationships between all the characters really drive the story and make it an excellent read.
