Really great concept (a horror story on a cruise ship? Awesome.), and I like that it takes on body image issues within the scope of a schlocky survival book.
Unfortunately, the characters were poorly developed and unrealistic, to the point where it was tough to get through certain parts. For example, the female lead's best friend was dealing with something absolutely horrific (staying vague here to avoid spoilers), but the female lead still found the emotional wherewithal to fall in love with a dude who is sooooo cute! ^_^ It just felt ridiculous.
Still, I'll be recommending this one to some of my students. It's a fun, easy read, and the concept is enough to carry you through to the end.
