Kat's Reviews > Santa Cruise

Fifteen years after graduating high school and after reminiscing at a class reunion, four friends who have had bad luck in love decide to take a singles cruise together at the holidays. Amy, Rachel, Nina and Frankie were all interesting characters with varied careers which were fun to read about. I liked the way the backstories were developed. Things that worked for me: the characters and the friendships—I would categorize this more as women’s fiction than a romance as the romance plays very little part in the novel. Things I struggled with: based on the cover, blurb and title, I was expecting this to be a Christmas-themed novel that takes place on a cruise, however the cruise doesn’t start until halfway through the novel, and the Christmas element is barely present in the book.
