I spent ages reading this book, suffering through it, and then it doesn't even have a good ending. It was the worst ending I have ever read in a standalone book. And we don't get to see what happens with it at all. Could have been better.Īnd then there is that ending. They spent forever on the island doing just about nothing. My dislike for this book just grew so much. I thought there might be a cute romance to save me from this awful book. But he isn't there for two hundred pages. But, well, the thing she did was so silly and just stupid to read about. Plot is that Frances did something really bad and is being sent away for weeks. Her little brother seemed interesting, until he got taken away and then didn't care about her at all anymore. Alone for about two hundred pages, and about eighty days for her alone. This book is about her being on an island. It was done so badly and not realistic at all. And she destroys just about everything inside her one emergency bag. So of course she drinks it all and gets super drunk. She has one small bottle, with a bit of vodka inside. First she manages to get out of the plane by making a hole in the roof. The plot is about her being on a plane that crashes, and her being the only survivor.
I guess I was supposed to feel sorry for her, you know, with her fat and useless and pathetic mom who got paid for sex. But pretty sure she was supposed to be sixteen. She seemed like she was over eighteen sometimes, and other times she seemed like she was twelve. I don't even know how old the main girl, Frances, is. And story was not all that exciting either. I don't usually have issues at all with strong language, but it was bad in this one. But nothing too big and not that interesting. So I might end up posting a few small spoilers about the plot in the book. But I wish to be honest about my feelings for this book. And my review might end up being very negative. But I'm also having so many feelings about it right now. I wanted to finish because I got it for review.
And then I thought about DNFing it, as it was so slow to read, but I didn't. But it is only the second book I have gotten from this lovely publisher, and I thought that I needed to finish it and write a review. I knew from the first pages that I would not like this book. And I thought that I would like it, so I got an ARC of it. I heard about The Island when I was emailed by the UK publisher in November, if I wanted to review it. But not enough to give it a two star rating. Though there were a few scenes that were interesting. I feel bad about giving this book a one star.
