I loved this book. The way the author told the story through the different points of view of the characters was so well done. The story goes places I never thought it would and it kept me wanting to read more. Even when I was doing other things, I’d think of how this book would end! If you’re looking for a uniquely written, suspenseful read, I’d definitely recommend this book. 5 stars!

This novel was so descriptive but the flow of th story wasn't suspenseful or thrilling. Instead it's a slow paced family drama and was just odd. And after being too long there there aspects of the story that are unresolved.

Finished this in a day. Just my sort of book with warm and realistic characters, atmospheric locations and enough excitement to make me want to keep reading , as well as an ending that was satisfying without being predictable or cloying.

This book was so good. I really felt for everyone & I felt like I knew them. A few tangents & things not making sense for a while but very happy to have read it. I did hate how the parents didn't want to search the island. I know I would have!!

The thrill and suspense of this story is what made me keep reading, however, there were some slow parts. Also, the ending was average.

This is beautifully written and has some very emotional sections. But it didn't have the tension that I was expecting and I found the ending to be weak. I would read more from this author but was a bit disappointed with this one.

This book started off slow for me then towards the end I felt like the story was being rushed to end. However, it was a good story about a girl who is thrown overboard while sailing with her father. The father is rescued and Eva, the girl and his daughter, floats to an island not far off the coast of where they live. She is rescued by a man who is hiding out on the island and held against her will. It tells of their story and how the family back on the mainland deal with the lose of their child. There are some stories within stories that come out through the book to keep you interested. The part that I was struggling with is that when Faith lands on the island while looking for her sister how quickly things move. The story then becomes very vague and the story becomes very rushed. It ends open ended so you can draw your own conclusions which I liked.
