She loves and hates very deeply – she is a fighter – but so many times her fight hurts no one more so than herself.The amount of strength she needs to summon inside herself to care enough about herself to fight for her survival is amazing. The reader is only gradually able to get all of the details of her life, her actions and her reason(s) for taking those actions. Her reason for being on the plane has to do with her recent criminal actions – ones neither the system nor she have forgiven her of.Frances is a deeply emotional and deeply damaged young girl – one with an incredibly tough shell. This is the story of a teenage girl who survives a plane crash and then finds herself alone on an island…and not only does she have to find some way to survive – Frances needs to decide if she actually does want to survive. “The Island” was a very engrossing and disturbing book – reminiscent for me of the movie “Castaway” – but with even more gut wrenching emotion.
