Just finished this and lemme tell ya. If I’m ever shipwrecked by a whale I’m letting the sea take me. Ain’t no way I’m fighting for my life for 118 days on a dinghy/raft enduring what this couple did. And I’m CERTAINLY not giving it a second go after I’ve survived the first time. Couldn’t be me but good on them 😂 Made for a riveting read!

“One of the most compelling works of nonfiction I’ve ever read that could easily be read in 1-2 sittings. A beautiful love story 🥲 So well researched it feels as though Sophie Elmhurst was there when the ship went down.”

“"...an adrenaline-fueled high seas adventure with a gutting love story that asks why we love difficult people, and who we become under the most extreme conditions imaginable."”
