The Opposite of Here by Tara Altebrando
4.0
I am a huge fan of cruises, and haven’t read any books (maybe one?) that takes place on one. You can tell the author has been on many, or has done a ton of research.The plot line was very unique and I loved it. You never saw what was coming and the twists and turns were executed wonderfully.
Natalie was very relatable to me. She was trying to deal with the grief that goes along with losing someone you love so suddenly. She was very closed off and difficult to deal with in the beginning and I loved seeing her transition throughout the book. Her friends annoyed me and I found that I was getting very frustrated by them, which I feel like was the point. Her parent were wonderful and you can tell how much they love their daughter and her friends.
Overall I really enjoyed the plot and definitely was questioning all the secondary characters. I am a a huge liver of thriller/mysteries and am loving getting into young adult books in this genre. I didn’t really find myself scared, which I was expecting, I was more so confused most of the book. I would absolutely recommend picking this one up.
