One week on an Alaskan cruise, three teens, and an endless trail of lies.
Enter a series of thefts on board and they all fall under scrutiny. Though Navy acts a proper preacher’s daughter, she did end up with someone else’s purse in her hands, and Jesse knows way more than he should about what’s gone missing. Isaiah, however, is the one with motive—enough money and he could get back to his ranch. Each holds a piece of the truth, but exposing the thief could damn them all. They must navigate through the lies they’ve told, choose between standing together or saving themselves, and decide if innocence is worth facing their ugliest secrets.

Can the kids find out who is stealing from the other passengers?

Triplicity by J. Mercer is an excellent book by this refreshing new author. I loved it from the very beginning to the end. It’s not like a conventional book either, and it’s fabulous. She captured the cruise pretty well. We have three points of view to go from: Navy is a girl that is going on the cruise with her mom and soon to be stepfather. Isaiah is a cowboy that lives on a ranch during the summer times and is trying to convince his grandma that he isn’t gay. He is there with his aunt who paid for the trip, and then we have Jesse who’s there with his dad while his mom stayed home.

Navy

One of the main characters is named Navy, and she’s the only female lead. She is the first point of view character that we read. She is a pretty fantastic person. I get what she means, but my life is nowhere near as messed up as hers. I liked that she tries to keep her values that she has grown up with intact and that she doesn’t take much to liars. What I didn’t like about her is that she also became one.

Isaiah

One of the main characters is named Isaiah, and he’s the first male lead. He is the second first-person point of view that we have and he is kind of a double standard I guess. Isaiah doesn’t fit a stereotype; he is more of the don’t base the book from its cover type of guy. He is a pretty weird person. I am glad that he changed and that we saw the two different sides of him. The only motivation of Isaiah’s throughout the whole thing is he wants to go back to the ranch.

What I liked about him is that he showed his true colors throughout the book. That definitely helped Navy out and helped him out as well. What I didn’t like about him is that he didn’t think of Navy as a person really that has feelings or had the time to get to know her properly.

Jesse

The last of the main characters is named Jesse. He is the last third person point of view that we have seen and he is another character that you shouldn’t judge by his looks. Jesse is definitely different from Isaiah with the whole tattoos, but he doesn’t look like a deadbeat. What I like about him is that he genuinely cares for Navy and is taking his time with her so that he won’t scare her off. I am happy that he didn’t just want to kiss her for any odd reason either. I didn’t really find anything that I didn’t like about this character.

Five Star

I am giving Triplicity by J. Mercer a five-star rating. She did have some mistakes here and there, but they didn’t take me out of the book, and they are so minuscule that it is something that I am okay with them. Each of the characters had me rooting for them in some fashion. Yes, even Isaiah even though he was a bit rude to Navy and Jesse.
