Summary:

I don't mix with the 'in crowd'. I'm a nerd, my sister's a cheerleader and her boyfriend's a jock. But when we all decide to take a summer vacation cruise, things begin to go horribly wrong.

Being stuck on a desert island with soppy cheerleaders and supposedly tough jocks is not my idea of a good time.

But when I decide to share my secret with a boy I hardly know, I'm about to find my life taking a turn for the better...

I read this a little while back and forgot to comment! I mean, REALLY?! While i was reading this for the second time i kept thinking: You retard how could you forget to comment on something as good as this?!!!!

  I love the characters. You made them seem realistic. Mark had to be one of my favorites, description wise... ;) haha, and so was Joel. The Disney Princess names made me laugh (in a good way obviously)!

 I loved the situation you put them in, the whole straanded on a desert island theme sometimes gets played too much, but the way you did it was marvelous.

 I also loved the surprise twists like the whole Joel/Mark fiasco and Jasmine's tragitey. Excellent job!

 The only thing i would say you should've done was slow it down, but i do that in my stories also so i shouldn't exactly be one to judge... :)

 Amazing book!!!!!! Please keep writing?!!!! :D

Your stories are always so great! It did seem a bit rushed toward the end there, but all in all, it's still great! Keep writing!
