A Cliffhanger Like No Other!!!!

Have you ever been reading a perfect, hot summer's day, lay on the beach sort of book, with a cover to match,that you just can't put down and all of a sudden the plot seems to leap out into left field and leave you wondering if you missed something or perhaps the main character of the novel is now dreaming? But no.... You read ahead and you are a bit peeved that an otherwise awesome read by a first time novelist to boot, has fast forwarded a bit too quickly for your liking? You wanted TJ and Anna to remain on that deserted island just a little bit longer! Perhaps just one more sex scene, (even though you struggled to finish that nonsense written by E.L James!) First the mismatched couple is on the beach and the next page they are time warped off of that beach and into a hospital? How does an author who was showing so much promise even think she can get away with this?! You read just a little bit more, flip back a few pages, and take a quick glance at the page number just to test the ridiculous theory you have about half the book being missing and VOILA!!! There is the proof! Page 154 leads to page 155 in your average novel but not in this case! Sadly, you stare at the page beside page 154 and there you have it! Page 187! Of course! Okay so I know I purchased this book impulsively during my virginal voyage into Costco on Saturday. (Yes I am probably the only 38 year old housewife who runs a daycare to boot, who has never shopped Costco.). Saturday's shopping expedition ended up with a shiny new executive membership card and three hundred dollars less in my bank account. Oh yeah...and a copy of an amazing, yet defective, cruel joke of a literary masterpiece! I know Costco is supposed to be a discount store but only getting half the book for a fraction of the price? Must be my bad luck! And now, here I am, on my IPhone, typing up a rant/review about Tracey Garvis Grave's best selling, originally self published e-book, On The Island. At least I'm still in Regina, only minutes from the Costco store where I found this book. I spent over two hundred bucks at Chapters in the past week and did not come across this book there? Not sure how I could have missed the bright blue cover with the synopsis on the back that makes you think of a modern twist on a classic Brooke Shields movie, The Blue Lagoon. My phone is about to go dead and my boys will soon be home from the movie at the IMAX so I will sum this one up by saying "Read this book! But be sure to check the number of pages before you pay the money!". Tracey Garvis Graves will be on my favorite author list from now until the end of time! This book is by far superior to the trilogy that I don't think I need to name here. Those books have no substance in comparison! I'm still a bit choked that I can't finish my book tonight!
