15.10 - Fun in the Sun

I read Diving in Deep which is set in Florida, where it's sunny most of the time, and one of the main characters works with the water park industry, how much more fun in the sun can that be.

I read it sitting outside on my patio, although the canopy sheltered me from the sun :-)
