Review: Stranded AF by Tammy Falkner

Stranded AF by Tammy Falkner
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I received this free eARC novel from the author. This is my honest review. 

I dived into this book with no knowledge of what it was about, nor what the title was until I opened my ebook, and I knew I was going to love it because I have adored every book that Tammy Falkner has wrote. That's how much confidence I have in her storytelling, btw!

This book... it made me feel everything - every emotion! I was milliseconds away from balling my eyes out at the beginning, I laughed at inappropriate times, I swooned, I felt so much pride towards these characters. You name it? I felt it. 

This book is a powerful book with a deep message - or at least I thought so. I stepped back and tried to picture myself in these 4 characters shoes, and I'm not going to lie, I don't know if I could have handled it. I'd like to think I could, but I honestly don't know, and won't know unless I'm put in that situation. 

To be stranded on an island, with no food, no water, no way to communicate for help... to be responsible for 2 kids and dogs. That is so much pressure and, honestly, I would have had a panic attack. And instead, Scotty and Frankie kept their composite, REALLY well I might add, and found solutions. If I ever get stranded, I want them there with me! 

Livvie and Tanner were fantastic. You take an electronic device from a kid nowadays and you may be risking a limb or two. Sure, they had their moments, they are kids, but they grew so much and were so mature for their age! 

All 4 of these characters stole a piece of my heart, but I have to say, Frankie was it for me. The amount of love she had for animals, for her two pups, really connected with me and I have to love her for that, without a doubt. 

I know that this book will stick with me for a long time, because it was such a loud message on what is important in the world. My crazy obsession for collecting books lately, while it makes me happy, is not as important as living life to the fullest. Experiencing new things, exploring mysteries. And being with the ones you love the most. And reading about these four and the crazy journey they were on, really puts that into perspective. So I am extremely glad I read this book and, as always, I'm already anticipating the next masterpiece from Falkner, where I will walk blindly into her novel because I know I will love it 100%!! 

Definitely pick up this book when it gets released!
