I enjoyed the scenes describing the Galápagos Islands, I love a book that lets me travel to another place and this one delivered. But the rest was... okay. The story revolved significantly around the main female character Henley, and the main male character was kind of... a shadow. I didn't feel like I got to know him, he felt one dimensional and almost too-perfectly nice. He didn't have any foibles or quirks. I found the storytelling got a little predictable. Five times Henley and Graeme were in a potentially intimate situation and whoops, they get interrupted by someone. The resolutions to the story's conflicts were a little too pat, too glossy, the dialogue syrupy. I have a business background and the solution at the end didn't feel realistic to me, it didn't ring true.
