review 1: The first half of the story is a lovely tale of an American going overseas to experience another country through a teaching program. The main character, Jessica, is likable and she meets equally likable people including a love interest that makes the idea of travel dreamy - especially to Thailand.Loved the character growth and romance that Jessica undergoes from her life in Indiana to Thailand. However, it's stories like these similar to the films Captain Phillips and All is Lost, that make you re-think if a boat cruise around the world. The second half of the book takes a turn when Jessica continues to pursue her dream of travel by signing on to be a crew member of a boat cruise.While the fantasy of experiencing the world traveling by boat is adventurous there are dangero... moreus elements to being out at sea to consider.
review 2: Jessica Gregory is a teacher that is looking to take control of her life. She has always lived in a small town in Indiana and decides after the death of her mother to move to Phuket, Thailand. She teaches English at one of the local schools. While she is there, she takes on a second job as a waitress at a marina. Jessica is enjoying being in Thailand but she begins to feel like she is in the same rut that she was in while living in Indiana. So, Jessica decides to put a flyer up that she would be willing to help work on a boat. She is contacted to help out on a boat and during her interview she realizes the owner of the boat is someone she has met during her time in Thailand. His name is Grant Flynn and she begins to develop a crush on him. However, there are times that she can't get a good read on him, but he seems to be getting over something from his past. Jessica is finally hired to work on their boat. She thinks she is in for a great adventure but along the way something terrible happens. I can't give anymore past this point or the twist would be completely given away!I enjoyed this book. It was entertaining and kept me interested the whole time. The second half of the book was so compelling that I couldn't put it down. The story was so intense and heartbreaking at times. I can't imagine going through any of the events that happen. Grant and Jessica both have to face things that they go through. This story ultimately is about letting go and going after what you really want in life. This story shows that people should do that before it's too late. Now, everyone read this so that we can discuss what happens, because I'm dying over here!!!I received an advanced copy of this book for an honest review. less

I quite enjoyed this book. It had an On the Island (Garvis Grave) feel to it. Full review to come.
