A beautiful heartbreaking story of marriage. A marriage shaken by trial. A marriage broken by sickness.

Stories like this always break my heart. Right from the start the pain and the heartbreak of Lucy can be felt. Her situation and how her husband deals with his issues is truly painful to read.

Fisher on the other hand initially denied his sickness. He denied he is suffering from PTSD. He hid it until his meltdown when it was pretty obvious that he is already sick.

It was so easy to love the two main characters despite their issues. Lucy is a perfect wife, sometimes to a fault. While Fisher is the perfect husband for her before his sickness. But there were times where I wanted to shake them both.

Since the story was told in alternating past and present situations we get to know all the characters in detail. We get to know their personalities especially the hero and heroine that's why I couldn't hate them for some of their actions that I don't agree with. One thing is certain though,  both are strong and resilient and determined to fight for their marriage.  

Another thing I liked is how lovable all the secondary characters are, with the exception of two that I will not detail so as not to divulge too much of the story. I also liked the drawings as it gave us a glimpse of the island.

I loved that this was a complete story and I didn't feel that it was long. I loved it when the stories are long and there's a nice epilogue and mostly if the story didn’t feel like it was a drag. I didn’t even notice that I was able to finish it in a day. Some books tend to draw out the story just for the sake of making it longer and it bores me. This book however captivated me from start to finish.

This book is highly recommended and so worth reading.
