I have re-read the first 30 pages of this book a number of times since last year hoping that it would end my slump because I thought it was an easy read. I just finished a book earlier today, but I can't seem to put this one down without knowing how it ends.

The main character trying her best to survive in the face of what seemed to be a situation where hope is impossible. Kung tutuusin ang simple lang naman at ang cliche, pero puta ang lalim, ang ganda ng pagkaka-kwento. And I needed that, Adrift. That made me feel hopeful.
