Well. I just finished it and I think it’ll be one that I process better over time. The first third dragged a bit for me. I didn’t really relate to Claude or her situation. I felt for her but didn’t connect with her character much. Once she travels to the island and starts connecting with its residents, I felt she opened up to me and them.
The relationship with Miah was special. I loved them together and rooted for them. I liked the ending not spelling out any details of their futures but leaving it for the reader to be hopeful.
I didn’t cry through this one like I expected I would. I think it’s bc I never truly connected to any of the characters deeply. That’s not to say I didn’t enjoy them I just felt a bit distant from their feelings and thoughts.
The setting of the island was mysterious and full of adventures. I loved exploring the area with Miah and Claude as they grew familiar through his sharing the island with her.

The storytelling and the setting is interesting, the main character Claudine however was very unlikable for me. I found her so annoying! I did really like the ending, it was realistic and bittersweet.
That said: i suppose i can see the appeal of this book for readers, but i found all the s*x talk and the very explicit s*x scenes excessive. It was boring and to me and i was just waiting for some actual action to happen. But no. More s*x. Is this the only thing teenagers care about?? Maybe. Honestly, i probably wouldn’t know since im asexual. So maybe that explains the positive reviews.?
