Adrift: A True Story of Love, Loss and Survival at Sea by Tami Oldham Ashcraft

5.0

What this book did to me never happened to me before.
I initially came across this story on Youtube when I watched the incredible trailer.
Today on my book hunt, I coincidentally saw it and I immediately bought it.
Since I watched the trailer I had certain expectations that, however, were not fulfilled in the book.
Filled with rage I closed the book in the middle of the story, only to watch the trailer again.
It was then that I realized "the voice" in the book was replaced with the hallucination of Richard in the trailer. A hallucination. He didn't survive.
I was so mad that I already decided to return it.
However, a few minutes after angrily starring at the book I made the decision to read on.
Needless to say, throughout this story, it felt like my eyes were trying to compete with the Niagara Falls.
It's not the way it was written or the words that have been chosen.
It's just the fact that something like this is real. And that this story really happened to a human being.
To those two human beings.
