From Publishers Weekly
Bestselling Mitchard offers the harrowing tale of four women lost at sea and pitted against nature and a cohort of contemporary pirates. Tracy, Holly and Olivia have known each other since high school, when they were glamorous, popular troublemakers. Twenty-five years after graduation, the three women, plus Tracy's 19-year-old daughter, Camille, set out on a "reading, sunning, gossiping" trip aboard a luxe sailboat helmed by a two-man crew. But a storm leaves the women adrift with no sail or engine and their co-captains gone overboard. With limited sailing experience, failing radio equipment and a rapidly diminishing cache of food and water, the women are vulnerable to the worst threats the Caribbean can offer—the elements, sharks and, most troublesome, pirates. This fast-paced novel borrows qualities from several genres—suspense, survival epic, coming-of-age—and mostly succeeds in melding the better aspects of each, though Mitchard has a surer hand in creating women characters than men. Mitchard's fans will appreciate this high-stakes adventure. (Aug.)

    I'm a chick who doesn't ordinarily read much chick lit, but I do enjoy a story for the sake of "escape" once in a while. This one, not so much. This is pure estrogen driven drama----the stuff of lifetime tv. If that's your thing, then look no more. Lots of claw bearing cat fighting with the added dimension of being lost at sea and fighting off pirates (who are stereotypically Hispanic, accompanied by the blond American accomplice who really isn't all that "bad.") Give me a break!
