After reading the Vera Wong books, I was really looking forward to this. I was so disappointed. The main character was whiny and unlikable.
Fern was bullied in high school and has let it affect her whole life. Seriously. You need to move on.
I only finished it to get credit for the Goodreads Spring Challenge.
2 stars. (barely)
Dominic and his children live on a remote island off Antarctica which contained the world's seed bank. He is caretaker of the island and the research facility on it. When a woman washes ashore during a storm, Dom's life is upended, especially since the island has lost communications and the island is essentially sinking due to climate change.
I felt really sad reading about the animals, so I subtracted a star.
3 stars.
