On the Island: A Novel | 
pickI started this after work today and just finished at 1 am. It‘s a little cringey in places and the ending is almost too picture-perfect, but the writing is not bad, I really liked the main characters, and I LOVED the whole lost on a deserted island plot. I quite literally didn‘t want to put this down once I started.

Its one of those incredibly written books that you never want to put down where you are immersed in the story & connected to the characters right from the beginning.
Another thing that you should know is that TJ‘s cancer does not come back. This not a story about that. I‘ve heard some people say that that held them back from wanting to read this book so I‘d like to dispel that worry here. This is a beautiful love story with a very happy ending!
pickI bought this as a cheapie kindle download when on offer after being recommended to read on goodreads after the idea of you , I read it on the beach last month , November and it was the perfect sexy summer read , no waffle , no boring bits just a brilliant easy read page tuner.

pickToes in the sand and a book in my hand. 🏝This book surprised me. I was not expecting a deserted island story from that cover. I enjoyed the relationship between the survivors with a 14 year age difference. A lovely beach read, just don‘t read it on a plane! Book 58 4⭐️
pickI absolutely loved this book. The pacing was perfect and loved the two different points of view. It definitely could be considered taboo, but how it was done, I would not consider taboo at all. A good, easy, romance read.
pickA bookclub selection that surprisingly generated some decent discussion. Anna and TJ survive a plane crash and find themselves stranded on an uninhabited island. The caveat is that 30 year old Anna is a teacher who was hired to tutor 16 year old TJ. I didn‘t love the romance that somewhat toed the line of taboo, despite understanding how it could happen (TJ was 19 when it began). Don‘t let the cover mislead you, this wasn‘t a Club-Med romance
pickI really liked this. The chapters alternated between Anna and T.J., which was a bit confusing at first (even though the start of the chapter tells you whose POV it is), but it didn‘t take long before I was ok with it. It was a fast read – read in one day. Short chapters. I could say more, but there are just too many spoilery things – beware of other reviews, as many do include what I would consider to be spoilers

This story is about two people who are stranded on an island in The Maldives after their plane crashes. They are very lost.
On the Island @traceygarvisgraves @penguinbooks This sounds really good. My first book of @traceygarvisgraves Definitely a read to get you in the mood for Summer. ☀️🍓🍷 Instagram at castrojeannette
so-soI kind of liked it but I also expected a different ending for some reason. I‘m happy that everyone got a happy ending but I wonder if it‘s realistic.
Library hold that just came through, so I‘ll be reading this alongside another book.

When I think of a beach, I almost always recall this book. I have read it three times and I am not normally a romance reader. This story has a lot going for it.
pickOk so this wasn‘t a super serious read and to be fair it wasn‘t the most well written book I have ever read BUT for some reason I couldn‘t put it down. I read it mostly in one sitting because I HAD to know what happened to Anna and TJ. While I think everything was wrapped up almost too nicely, in the end I still actually really enjoyed the book. This romance(?)/survival story would make a great summer read.
pickMost true romance novels have bad covers, but I actually really thought this was a #badcovergoodbook. I felt the traumatic event was portrayed realistically and the romance lovely & believable. A sweet palate cleanser! #aprilbookshowers
pickI LOVED this book! Yeah it wasn't the most serious, but it was fun and I really cared about what happened to the characters

in this really cold day of january I wish I was on a desert island in the middle of the Indian Ocean..
⭐⭐⭐ the twist at the end, how they have been rescued, is the only thing I didn't see it coming.. I'm not a huge fan of romance, but this is a good novel.
so-soThere were some cute moments, but its a book I quickly forgot after completing it. It lacked complexity and I thought the book could have done with more research. It was a quick, light read.
pick"I will always keep my promises to you, Anna."
A lovely, gripping, and romantic desert island story.
