Ok so first off - the book's description is very misleading. Even reading the Goodreads summary, you're lead to believe that the main character, Caz, wakes up after her first night on a cruise and realizes the ship is completely empty. That's not the case and it actually happens quite early on in the book (so this isn't a spoiler?) that there are 3 other people on the cruise. Everyone else, including her boyfriend, has disappeared.

I feel like anything else I may say about the book would be spoiling it, so I'll keep the rest of my review vague. There is a twist revealed that the four passengers have to deal with, which yes, was ridiculous, but because the book is very fast paced, I didn't mind how bizarre the plot got. However I did have to draw a line at the ending - Will Dean definitely went overboard with it (pun intended?).
