Castle of Water by Dane Huckelbridge
4.0
I thought this was a decent romance. It had Blue Lagoon (but older) vibes.
Barry and Sophie are the lone survivors of a small plane crash. Sophie was on her honeymoon with Etienne. Now alone together on a deserted island, they have to make a go at it. Of course, trying to stay alive during harsh conditions bonds them.
I struggled a bit with the voice of this novel. The narration didn't have me "in" the action as much as I would have liked. Being very nearsighted myself, I empathized with Barry's contact lens situation, but it did feel discussed quite a bit. :)
