"From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Small Great Things and The Book of Two Ways comes a deeply moving novel about the resilience of the human spirit in a moment of crisis. Diana O'Toole is perfectly on track. She will be married by thirty, done having kids by thirty-five, and move out to the New York City suburbs, all while climbing the professional ladder in the cutthroat art auction world. She's an associate specialist at Sotheby's now, but her boss has hinted at a promotion if she can close a deal with a high-profile client. She's not engaged just yet, but she knows her boyfriend, Finn, a surgical resident, is about to propose on their romantic getaway to the Galapagos-days before her thirtieth birthday. Right on time. But then a virus that felt worlds away has appeared in the city, and on the eve of their departure, Finn breaks the news: It's all hands on deck at the hospital. He has to stay behind. You should still go, he assures her, since it would be a shame for all of their nonrefundable trip to go to waste. And so, reluctantly, she goes. Almost immediately, Diana's dream vacation goes awry. Her luggage is lost, the Wi-Fi is nearly nonexistent, and the hotel they'd booked is shut down due to the pandemic. In fact, the whole island is now under quarantine, and she is stranded until the borders reopen. Completely isolated, she must venture beyond her comfort zone. Slowly, she carves out a connection with a local family when a teenager with a secret opens up to Diana, despite her father's suspicion of outsiders. In the Galapagos Islands, where Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection was formed, Diana finds herself examining her relationships, her choices, and herself-and wondering if when she goes home, she too will have evolved into someone completely different"--… (més)

Diana O'Toole, a New Yorker and a Sotheby's art historian, is a type-A personality who ends up stranded on the Galapagos in the early days of the COVID pandemic. This is both a curse and a blessing for her as she gets to be stranded in paradise while her boyfriend is stuck working in the COVID section of a busy hospital in Manhattan. Since we all suffer the PTSD from the early days of the pandemic, having the story set in such an exotic location feels fresh and relaxing. At least for a little while...

This book has one of the most interesting twists I have ever read. However, I'm not sure that I quite liked it. Honestly, I feel I would have been fine without it, but since it is there I gotta say it added a new dimension to the novel. For me, the novel sank quite a bit after the twist and sorta stayed flat until the end.
The main relationship that everything revolves around is quite boring and superficial.

However, this book is well researched and insightful. It is true to the emotions we felt back in March 2020. Although a little bit cliche in the plot and characters, I give it 3.5. ( )

I was looking forward to reading this. And there were some aspects I liked: the pandemic timeframe, the art world... but that's about it. Diana drove me nuts, and the story itself was slow and painfully predictable. No more Jodi Picoult for me. ( )

Enjoyable read with a nice twist. Highly recommend. ( )

I picked up this book from the library without knowing anything about it. It’s too soon for me to read fiction about the pandemic. If I’d read a review first, I never would have started it. ( )

According to Darwin’s Origin of Species, it is not the most intellectual of the species that survives; it is not the strongest that survives; but the species that survives is the one that is able best to adapt and adjust to the changing environment in which it finds itself.

The only way you can tell how far you’ve come is to know where you started.
When you’re surrounded by desert, it’s inconceivable to think there are places that flood.
“The point is, if someone abandons you, it may be less about you and more about them.”
You cannot trust perception. Falling, at first, feels like flying.
