“When we crash-landed on the island, I thought my story was over. Turns out, it was about to begin.”
He was an asshole from the first moment we met.
I took one look at the stranger in the airport terminal and knew he was exactly the kind of man my mother spent seventeen years warning me against. Gruff, grumpy, and far too good-looking to stare at without experiencing heart palpitations.
Thankfully, I’d never see him again.
Or so I thought.
I couldn’t have known our plane would crash.
I couldn’t have predicted we’d be the only survivors.
I couldn’t have ever, in my wildest dreams, anticipated that the asshole from the airport would become my only source of solace in the darkness.
It’s so wrong to want him, for so many reasons. But as the months slip by and our hopes of rescue grow dimmer… the spark between us kindles into something impossible to ignore.
Sometimes, survival requires swimming in uncharted waters.
But if salvation doesn’t come soon…
I might just drown in him.
I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
I am completely and utterly drained emotionally, in the best way, by the words of Julie Johnson. I just finished her latest release, Uncharted, and it ripped my heart to shreds. She utterly demolished me. She wrecked, pun not intended, but she also mended me with her story telling and the complete raw love of this story.
If you read The Girl Duet, you are familiar with Uncharted, but even knowing what I knew going in, I still couldn’t get enough this story of the vividness of it as a whole. Julie can put me through the emotional wringer whenever she pleases.
I know people enjoy going on and on about ‘all the feels’, but Uncharted literally evoked every single one of them! I was angry. Irrationally so at that, I bawled. I’m talking I had puffy, red eyes. I fell in love. HEAD OVER FREAKING HEELS. I felt helpless and hopeful.
[I wish for Claudius Templesmith to come over the the loudspeaker and save them, I wished for Violet to have Katniss’s knowledge of plants!!]
Beck is one of those heroes that you detest right out of the gate. He’s a jerk. He’s rude and short with Violet and just so infuriating. You think there is no way that he could actually redeem himself on this isolated island cut off from the rest of civilization. No way could I fall in love with this hero.
I am here to tell you. Beck is REDEEMABLE!! And when he was vindicate it was in big way!
Violet is young, but she is tough and strong willed. She is the kind of heroine I want to be in my own story. She doesn’t back down from challenges when she is faced with some that I hope to never face in my lifetime.
Seriously. Uncharted deserves all of the praise hands!!
