Two people stranded on an island struggle to survive—and slowly fall in
love—in the runaway New York Times bestseller. Anna Emerson is a thirty-year-old English teacher desperately in need of
adventure. Worn down by the cold Chicago winters and a relationship
that’s going nowhere, she jumps at the chance to spend the summer on a
tropical island tutoring sixteen-year-old T.J. T.J. Callahan has no desire to go anywhere. His cancer is in remission
and he wants to get back to his normal life. But his parents are
insisting he spend the summer in the Maldives catching up on all the
school he missed last year. Anna and T.J. board a private plane headed to the Callahan’s summer
home, and as they fly over the Maldives’ twelve hundred islands, the
unthinkable happens. Their plane crashes in shark-infested waters. They
make it to shore, but soon discover that they’re stranded on an
uninhabited island. At first, their only thought is survival. But as the days turn to weeks,
and then months, the castaways encounter plenty of other obstacles,
including violent tropical storms, the many dangers lurking in the sea,
and the possibility that T.J.’s cancer could return. As T.J. celebrates
yet another birthday on the island, Anna begins to wonder if the biggest
challenge of all might be living with a boy who is gradually becoming a
man.
