Unexpected delights

I'm not sure if the reviews give this book justice. I mean, I read the back, and I'm like, this sounds dumb, another teen pity problem. But I was pleasantly surprised when I read this how absolutely adorable this book is! The Mr. Peck writes in first person for Drew, and boy, he is some clever and witty! I had to break and laugh out loud for a while every once in a while during the course of the book. The story mainly focuses on Drew and Steph and them discovering what an amazing and fun woman their grandma, Connie, is, and that sometimes the best things in life sneak up on you if you don't watch them. This book was fun, though I was kinda sad by the end, but overall it was a feel good read. Definately sweeps you away to the cruise ship and the magic of travel.
