pickA cruiseschip sets sail in March 2020 and inevitably COVID travels with one of the thousands of passengers. While people are getting sick the world closes down and leaves the ship drifting. The book reads like a horrifying thriller.
Trigger warning: The parts describing how the seriously I‘ll people fight for their lives were very painful to read.

RaeLovesToRead I've read several books on boats this year already, but I haven't counted them for the challenge because it specifies "cruise ship" ?? 2y
Megabooks Glad you liked this, and I did find the parts where people were sick, especially the crew, who definitely seemed to have it worse, difficult to read. 💔 2y
BarbaraBB @RaeLovesToRead Be prepared if you decide to read this one. It‘s a page turner but it feels ambivalent because it really happened. 2y

BarbaraBB @Megabooks Very difficult those fighting for their lives and yes, that crew 💔 2y
RaeLovesToRead I struggle to read about real life tragedies, so I'll probably choose something lighter. 2y
Megabooks @RaeLovesToRead before I read CF, I used this for cruise ship. Even though I just liked it, it‘s gotten favorable reviews on litsy and is indeed MUCH lighter!![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)

The Unsinkable Greta James: A NovelCortg This sounds both horrifying and intriguing 🤨 2y
RaeLovesToRead @Megabooks I'll check it out! 😊 I just started reading a book today and realised after a couple of pages that it was set in the 80s... yay! Another prompt to be fulfilled 😎 2y
squirrelbrain Gosh, Barbara, I bet that was a tough one to read. I‘ve read a few extracts in the press and it seems horrific. 2y
Cathythoughts Sounds good ! I think I‘ll try a sample 👍🏻 2y
