Joey Perrone is a woman with a mission. She's just been pushed overboard from a cruise liner by Chaz, her scumbag husband, and survived to tell the tale. But rather than reporting him to the police, she decides to stay dead and - with a little help from her friends and a few of Chaz's enemies - instead of getting mad, she's going to get even. Filled with a host of endearingly offbeat characters, and a narrative that is hilarious, romantic and thought-provoking by turns, "Skinny Dip" takes us on a journey through the warped politics of Southern Florida and through the madness created by the human heart.

Carl Hiaasen has written another South Florida novel of oddballs, outcasts, and warped behavior. Chaz throws his wife Joey overboard on their second honeymoon cruise. Joey survives, thanks to a bale of Jamaica's finest, and gets even. A fun read, as usual.
Published in hardcover by Alfred A. Knopf.
This book was all charm and I loved almost everything about it. The ending was meh for me, but it wasn't upsetting or disappointing, and I certainly didn't throw it across the room. It was a little quiet. When you read it, you'll think I'm mad. But it was the pacing that was quiet when the entire novel had a frenetic energy that was infectious. I'd still recommend it and will read others.
