Who doesn’t have Gilligan’s island in your head when you read that? I wanted to love this story or at least like it but unfortunately that was not the case. The first part of the book was ok, a single guy takes a cruise. After he and basically everyone he meets on the ship get marooned on a deserted island it goes downhill fast. This story has more holes in it than I have time or desire to revisit.

Warning*****Spoilers and triggers ahead*****

All of the characters are actually very one sided. The troupe of the heart of gold stripper/ porn star falling in love with the accountant is so predictable and weak it’s boring.

This is what made me write this review, the author glosses over rape and abuse like its nothing. A female character says something to the point of a “Survivor” will get over being raped with a hot shower and a good cry. He also has a women who he foreshadows will be raped stay around her soon to be rapists when she could easily leave. If that was not enough then according to the pirates (with hearts of gold) that same women enjoys being raped. I have no idea how this part got published and it should be removed.
