This book reminded me of the movie Six Days, Seven Nights. The refreshing part of this story is the author's writing wasn't complicated and is straightforward.  What bogged it down was two people stranded on an island didn't leave a whole lot of interactive plots. These two managed to work the island and make a tiny utopia for themselves without tools. Oceans was an island girl so her skill with knowing what to look for as far as food was plausible but Marshall's role building pots, weapons and shelter was way out there along with his patience at fire building and childbirthing. The guy worked as an accountant before being dumped on the island. It seemed as if Oceans was always cooking or weaving a basket or making pottery while Marshall was forever building something, catching crabs with items Oceans created or mooning over doing the right thing as far as his relationship with Oceans went.  Despite the plot, the grammar and spelling errors, this book had charm and innocence in the writer's skill at storytelling. That is well done and based on that is why I gave this book three stars.
