People can choose to decide the way they want their life to go. They can either decide to live a life of adventure or decide to work and focus on making money. Bluewater Walkabout by Tina Dreffin tells the life of Tina and how she had a penchant for adventures.

Tina loved that she could go on adventures with her husband and her children. As a child, she always loved going on adventures, but she didn't think it was something she could focus on, which led her to divert. Travelling to different countries on a catamaran with her family is something she appreciates, but at the same time, she feels skeptical at times because she needs her children to be safe. They got to travel to different places, and she shared her backstory with the readers as well.

The most beautiful thing about this book is that the readers got to grow with the characters, and by the characters, I mean Tina. Tina shared her journey and told the readers what she loved doing as a child. She also shared the experiences she had during her workdays and how she fell in love with her husband. All these included her growth and how she got to learn more due to the experience she had. The readers also got a deeper glimpse of Tina's family and how connected they were.

There are certain things about this book that I didn't exactly enjoy, like how bulky it was. The book felt bulky to me because it was as though there were many things happening in different places. It was so difficult for me as a reader to keep up with the happenings in the book, making it difficult for me to understand. As I had to focus on the adventures they had, I also had to understand the behavior of the kids and who they chose to have as friends, so all of these made it difficult for me to focus on the main part of the book, which was the adventure. These are the reasons why I would rate this book 4 out of 5 stars. The book was professionally edited.

I would recommend this book to those who love the idea of families going on adventures and vacations. I would also recommend it to anyone who enjoys books and recreational activities.
