From the cover and the title, I assumed I would be reading chick-lit. However, this memoir is about facing your fears and taking a leap of faith. Torre only recently started dating this man, when she decides to join him on his sailing trip across the world, despite being scared of the ocean. I have no knowledge of the sailing world but she simplifies it in a way where anyone can understand. Their adventure is so wild and unique (and occasionally funny) that it was hard to set the book down.
