On the Island is one of those books that hooks you right from the first chapter. It centers around tutor Anna and her student TJ. TJ has had a bout with cancer and due to his illness is behind in school. Anna, his tutor, will be flying to Indonesia with him for the summer to join his family and tutor him for the summer. During the plane ride the pilot has a heart attack and they crash land in the water. As they are stranded on the island TJ and Anna are forced to find shelter, food and keep themselves alive over the course of three years. During this time the much older Anna and the younger TJ find themselves falling in love. A great story. Can't wait for the movie.
