Santa Cruise is the first book I have read by Fern Michaels. I was drawn to the book based upon the cover and the title. For some reason I felt like reading a Christmas type book and decided this would be a perfect Christmas in July theme read. I don't generally read the more romance chick flick type books a lot but I did find myself thoroughly enjoying this book. It was fun reading about the cruise and all the exciting activities and ports of call particularly since it has been several years since we have been on one and I do miss this vacation style.
The character relationships fit well with the concept of good friends reuniting at a high school reunion and reigniting old bonds. The redevelopment of their friendships felt organic and realistic. Their personal development and growth when facing life changing career decisions seemed real and the level of uncertainty and angst was conveyed at a believable level.
I would not hesitate to select another book by Fern Michaels if I was looking for a feel good escape.
