Thank you NetGalley and Kate Callaghan for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
In The Situation Ship, we follow popstar Poppy Roe as she embarks on a cruise after her aunt's death. She's closely followed by detective Isaiah Rivers, who is suspicious of Poppy due to her proximity to several deaths of people related to her in one way or another in the past few months. Once they get on the ship, death continues following Poppy, and she turns to Isaiah not only for protection but also to solve the mystery of who's trying to harm her.
Funny and lighthearted, despite all the murders, The Situation Ship was a fun, quick read. I really enjoyed Poppy's strong character and determination to take control of her own life, and Isaiah's loyalty to what he considers right and wrong.
I'm more used to books that rely heavily on emotions and deep conversations, and while The Situation Ship has its moments, I found the connection between the Poppy and Isaiah lacking some depth. Given the genre of the book and the pacing of the story, however, it made sense.
The twist at the end was good, and I only guessed half of it, which made the ending thoroughly enjoyable. All in all, The Situation Ship was fun, and kept me engaged with the story and wanting to get to the end to see what happened.
I'm definitely coming back and reading more books by Kate Callaghan.
