This plot summary for this story had me wondering at first whether it would be something I could really get into. The idea that a relationship could grow between a 30 yr old woman & a teenage boy made had me questioning whether this book was even with buying - but it really truly was.

Tracy Garvis-Graves delivers a story that not only make sense but is in itself, quite believable. The characters are well thought out & their motivations very believable. You understand that their experiences bond

I LOVED this book. In a way it reminded me a lot of the movie Castaway. I also liked how the age difference was handled. It was a beautiful read

A castaway love story with bite!

This book is simply Beautiful. I Absolutely Loved it!

T.J is to die for, and Anna is a wonderful character. I am also in my early 30's and I could relate to everything Anna felt while reading her perspectives, every worry she had, every thought was totally believable which is what is magic about this story.

Incredibly written, a great feel good book with nail-biting adventure. READ THIS BOOK!
