A touching short story by an amazing author. Sophia experiences heartbreak while learning how to appreciate life, nature and others. This would be a great novel and I was sad it ended.
Thank you to the publisher for the opportunity to read this advanced copy. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

"It is not the strongest of the species that survive, and it is not the most intelligent. It is the one most adaptable to change."

Sophia is thrown for a loop when her boyfriend, JP, of six months abruptly leaves just before they board their flight to the Galapagos Islands. Sophia goes on the trip alone and realizes JP may not be the person she thought he was.

This was a sweet short story. While pretty predictable, I guessed from the earliest description what the boyfriend was up to, I love a story where a woman realizes her best trait is to love herself.
