The Skinny Dip is a lighthearted romantic comedy about a woman who decides to take a dip in the ocean to skinny dip while on her honeymoon. She is soon joined by her new husband and the two of them share a special moment together. The characters are charming and the story is sweet.

Other books by Carl Hiaasen tend to have protagonists who are outcasts in society, are fighting against powerful and corrupt institutions, and have a sarcastic sense of humor.

In the Skinny Dip, former environmental activist Joey Perrone is pushed overboard the cruise ship M. V. Daphne by her husband, who mistakenly believes she knows too much about his criminal activities. Joey survives the fall and is rescued by a handsome ecological researcher named Chaz Perrone, who just so happens to be on the same cruise.

Joey and Chaz quickly develop a mutual attraction, and as they get to know each other, Joey begins to piece together the evidence that her husband was behind her attempted murder. With the help of Chaz and a ragtag group of allies, she sets out to take down her husband and his criminal enterprise once and for all.

The Skinny Dip is a fast-paced, action-packed novel that is sure to keep readers entertained from start to finish. Carl Hiaasen’s trademark humor and sharp wit are on full display, and the characters are both colorful and intriguing. If you’re looking for a fun, escapist read, the Skinny Dip is definitely worth a look.
