A life or death struggle for survival has never been so dull. Adrift (2018) #Review

The lure of a life of freedom on the open ocean is an easy one to understand, at least when the sea is a beautiful blue expanse, stretching out to an endless horizon. But the romantic picture postcard ideal doesn’t last long for Tami Oldham (Shailene Woodley) and Richard Sharp (Sam Claflin) when their trans-Pacific voyage is interrupted by Hurricane Raymond with devastating results.

There’s no doubting how harrowing the ordeal that Tami Oldham Ashcraft went through was, but this bland Instagram melodrama barely manages to scratch the surface...

Wow!

Basically, without going into too much detail about the plot it’s about newly married Jane Forrester becomes a social worker in 1960’s Grace County she encounters families that are poor beyond her comprehension, events occur that will change her and the families lives forever.

It’s slightly depressing but the story is SO good and the ends justifies the means, literally! I don’t know why I seem to review books that end up making me cry, I guess I’m just a big softy. It’s not a romantic story, it’s political for the time. It’s worth reading if just for the ending!
