Michelle Theall and 41 other people liked Traci Thomas's review of A Marriage at Sea: A True Story of Love, Obsession, and Shipwreck: "I really liked this book. The first 2/3 are stronger than the ending. It is a wild story and Elmhirst does a good job building the suspense. Overall a quick and super enjoyable read."
