The story is engaging from the outset. You are kept guessing all the time. The characters are believable. The main character certainly grows . A very satisfying read.

a quick and enjoyable read!!

- I live for any book sea related even though the sea kind of terrifies me,
- the plot and pacing was good,
- I loved the mystery element behind the book and I didn’t guess the ending which was nice.

however,
- I didn’t like the writing style, it is a book definitely written for the younger YA audience,
- there was no character development really and aster was kind of boring,
- I didn’t like the alternative chapters with sam and aster. it just all seemed too convenient he was there??

3 stars!

this may have been the craziest book i’ve read

i thought it would be a cool story about a girl stranded on an island but boy was i wrong, there were continuous twists and turns throughout and the whole concept is crazy. props to the author for coming up with something like that wow!!

A fun, quick, easy read. I guessed early on what was going to happen but it didn't spoil my enjoyment of the story. It feels like a sequel might be handy as there's lots of what happened next questions I need answered!
