The Titanic setting got the book into my reader. This is actually a story that goes back in forth in time - in 1912 with young Maggie on the ship, and 1982 with Maggie's great-granddaughter learning the story and using it to get on with her life. I have to admit I was more interested in the 1912 passages and how they related to the present reveals. It's told simply, and though you know Maggie survives you do read and wonder what happens as the ship sinks.
My only complaint is the romance aspect of the story was wrapped up too quickly. All through the story Maggie pines for the boy she left behind, and suddenly that part of the story is wrapped up in two paragraphs of dialogue. We don't get the show, just the tell. Other than that, if you're more interested in Titanic fiction, it's worth the eBook price.
