The book itself is not bad if you are simply looking for a read to relax with. 

I feel as if it could've benefitted from taking things a bit slower and showing us more of the main character's psyche after spending so much time by herself. When reading you see that she is almost unaffected by it - she comes out willing to talk, communicate, trust and love. I truly believe that somebody in such a situation would have been more cautious of those around them rather than to easily fall in love right away. Additionally, the plot line was quite basic and everything was predictable, so I feel that it could've built on other parts to compensate.
