What a mistake I made by not reading this sooner. Anna, the tutor and T.J., student, are on this island for 3 1/2 years. Their story unfolds in front of you.

I wish I was better with words so I can tell you how this story will make you feel.

All things happen for a reason and that is how I felt about the plane crash. Without that plane crash, these two people would never have a chance to "see" what the other heart holds.

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

This book is so special. The story is so different, it was so refreshing to read. At the end you just have to have an ugly cry for all that Anna and TJ have gone through and how they appreciate life in a way that only the two of them can. They are truly each others soul mate, born from tragedy. I loved how the tsunami saved them. The message that devastation may be someone's survival. This book was just so great. Can not wait for more from this author! ...more

Really loved this story. Couldn't put it down.
I've read most of the books in the charts at the moment and this is definitely one of my favourites.
what they go through as they try to survive is very emotional. Love both of the characters , I cried when TJ became ill as I felt the fear and the grief for them both.
Definitely one of those books you think about for a while after, Not to be MISSED....

I'm not gonna lie I was hesitant about reading the book at first because of the teacher/student thing.. but WOW after reading it I regret not reading earlier. This was such an amazing book with a beautiful storyline <3 I am soooo glad I read it! :) I love the back and forth POV from Anna and TJ, and aww the epilogue was just the cherry on top! ...more
