The second book in this complete series titled, Sailing Into Trouble was just as well written as the first book in this series with the dialogue on point creating the suspense and drawing you into it. All in all Danni was a likable character. But it would make this review too long to address the other issues I had with this first book in the series. I had other issues with this first book in the series, such as it was fast pace in parts but slower in others because of a little too much unnecessary info dumping, some of the info was fine but other things could've made the narrative even tighter without some of the very trivial stuff. Maybe it was supposed to show he cared about her in a romantic way, but I think it was just shy of the mark. I found the first guy she encountered, Chris as more paternal in the way he interacted with her in a scene in Chapter One, than a potential love interest. It was hard to connect with her grief over the other friend's death, it felt forced and therefore missed the mark on the depth of emotion. That part was too weird even for a close friend, whom she wasn't even dating. I found their relationship to be somewhat co-dependent, from both characters. In the first book in the series Book One: Running into Trouble, I felt that the main character, Danni was a bit too involved in her friend, Ryan's intentions about his own love life.
