Özet

When 30-year-old English teacher Anna Emerson is offered a job tutoring T.J. Callahan at his family's summer rental in the Maldives, she accepts without hesitation; a working vacation on a tropical island trumps the library any day.

T.J. Callahan has no desire to leave town, not that anyone asked him. He's almost 17 and if having cancer wasn't bad enough, now he has to spend his first summer in remission with his family - and a stack of overdue assignments - instead of his friends.

Anna and T.J. are en route to join T.J.'s family in the Maldives when the pilot of their seaplane suffers a fatal heart attack and crash-lands in the Indian Ocean. Adrift in shark-infested waters, their life jackets keep them afloat until they make it to the shore of an uninhabited island. Now Anna and T.J. just want to survive and they must work together to obtain water, food, fire, and shelter.

Their basic needs might be met but as the days turn to weeks, and then months, the castaways encounter plenty of other obstacles, including violent tropical storms, the many dangers lurking in the sea, and the possibility that T.J.'s cancer could return.

As T.J. celebrates yet another birthday on the island, Anna begins to wonder if the biggest challenge of all might be living with a boy who is gradually becoming a man.

Amazing book! Stranded together after plane crash, age gap, and slow burn romance. I loved how we got to grow with the characters and experience their friendship forming into love. While I didn't like their time apart, I realize that it was necessary. Highly recommend. All the feels.

5 stars wonderful! 🌟

Such an excellent book - the story had me hooked from the moment I started listening and I was plugging into my i-Pod whenever I could. The characters are brilliant and likeable and Tracey Garvis Graves weaves their story in a believable way.

The only slight downside is the narration at the beginning - Heidi speaks way too fast - I just kept thinking "SLOW DOWN" but she settles into it, so persevere.

You won't be able to stop listening !!

A friend advised me to buy this book just before I headed off to... The Maldives, but told me not to listen until I’d arrived at my destination. Good job too as it was by sea plane!
This book is outstanding. Hooked me from the get go and the story and island came alive in my mind. Wanted to get to the end to discover what happens and wasn’t disappointed. A great holiday book!

Compulsive listening

I thought this was a fab little audio book, I found it was a great end of month gap filler for when you are in between or if you just want a shorter summer read.
It was lively and interesting all the way through and I found that I couldn't put it down.
It was a typical castaway book and the narrator did a good job and by bringing the characters to life.
I would have preferred the narrator to slow down a little bit as I found her speech too fast for me, but as I was able to set a slower reading speed on my i pod I then sat back and thoroughly enjoyed listening to this audio book at a more relaxing pace.

A castaway book that I couldn't put down.
