Whew, this book is freaking brilliant! 
 I heard a lot of good things about this book but I never really listened to them because the age gap between the main characters truly bothered me. However, when I finally read it a few days ago, all my reservations flew out of the window and I just enjoyed every chapter of this book. It was well written, the characters were admirable and the story line was amazing, I can't even jskdahfjshdfjhdsgaskdjfhs... 
 The story starts with Anna retelling the events before the crash. She's an English teacher and works as a tutor during summer. On this particular summer, she was hired by the Callahan's to tutor their cancer-survivor son T.J. in Maldives. Since she is having relationship problems and needs to get away from her partner (John) for a while to clear her mind, she accepted the job. She's 30 years old at the time. T.J. Callahan was supposed to be in Maldives with his family, but he asked to stay behind to party with his friend Ben and travel later with his tutor. He was only 16 year old and he hates to spend the summer away from his friends, but her parents have other plans... Who would've thought that this trip will change their lives? After their pilot suffered a heart attack, their plane crashed in the ocean and were later thrown by the waves into an island. With no one to rescue them, they only have two options: learn to survive or die. 
 If you were stranded on a deserted island what three items would you bring? 
 OMG... don't... nope, I'm not going to answer that one, because I.WILL.NOT.SURVIVE. No matter how many things I bring, I don't think I will survive in an island alone for 4 freaking years like T.J. and Anna did. Well, maybe if I bring someone along... hmmm... still, the answer is a big NO! lol 
 Anyway, going back to the book, I have no words to express how much I loved this book. It has everything I want in a story, the drama, suspense, romance and a little shark action. LOL! I'm amazed with the characters, specially with T.J. Callahan! When they were on the island, I thought Anna will be the one "in charge" because she's older and wiser but T.J. surprised the heck out of me. He matured and adapted to his environment quickly. As for Anna, well, like what I've said I wasn't thrilled about the 13 years gap between her and T.J. but I couldn't really judge her. Their experience changed both of them. How can I not root for them to be together after what they've been through?!? 
 This is definitely one of my top reads for this year, highly recommended for romance and new adult book readers. 
 and YES, breadfruit have Vitamin C Anna, no scurvy for you and T.J.!
