I received an eARC of this book from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
Oof. Do NOT read this book if you have recently had a child. I cried, and my son is two...
Overall, though, this is a gorgeous and well-paced read. Marguerite's time on the island isn't dragged out (though I was ready for her to leave), and I was on the edge of my seat as she tried to survive her journey. Her inner turmoil and subsequent development is also detailed beautifully.
