Who can CIA analyst Vivian Miller trust as she works to identify the Russian sleeper cell members and the mole in her department? Actually, if the reader trusts their instincts, they may just realize they have had the answers all along.
Do not do what I did. I started this book at bedtime and then found myself unable to put it down and go to sleep.

It is a unique read with an amazing good vs evil twist and a cautionary tale about the disadvantages of lose weight quick schemes.
Laurel has been invited along on a Cruise to Lose - a cruise to launch a new weight loss product/sweetener called SOLU. Her best friend Vivika is so excited to try the new product, and her father obtained tickets for the exclusive, star-studded event.
Laurel experiences sea sickness which gives her an excuse not to use the sweetener. She is content with her body and does not really like the idea of weight loss by chemicals.
Tom, the second perspective in the story, was a chubby child actor who hopes appearing as a Ryan Seacrest type host for the cruise will relaunch his career as an adult. As a teen, he has embarked on a strict eating plan and exercise regimen to get his body in top shape. He does not want to risk his hard work by taking SOLU, so he also abstains.
Together Laurel and Tom tell the story as they begin to see startling weight losses and strange behavior amongst the SOLU users. This escalates quickly and soon the luxury cruise evolves to an amazing and crazy end.

Fast paced writing and an unusual story line made this a quick and fun read. Not for everyone, but I think the right teen audience will eat this up. This could be a good title to recommend to reluctant readers, but be sure the romance adverse know what appears to be a Sweet little romance has an amazing twist. ...more
