Wreckage

Lillian Linden is a liar. On the surface, she looks like a brave survivor of a plane crash. But she's been lying to her family, her friends, and the whole world since rescue helicopters scooped her and her fellow survivor, Dave Hall, off a deserted island in the South Pacific. Missing for almost two years, the castaways are thrust into the spotlight after their rescue, becoming media darlings overnight. But they can't tell the real story--so they lie.

The public is fascinated by the castaways' saga, but Lillian and Dave must return to their lives and their spouses. Genevieve Randall--a hard-nosed journalist and host of a news program--isn't buying it. She suspects Lillian's and Dave's explanations about the other crash survivors aren't true. And now, Genevieve's determined to get the real story, no matter how many lives it destroys.

In this intriguing tale of survival, secrets, and redemption, two everyday people thrown together by tragedy must finally face the truth...even if it tears them apart.

This was a fun and quick read. The ending was totally unbelievable which is why I gave it 3 stars instead of 4.

A great story with good usage of foreshadowing that kept me wanting to read more

A little bit of Lost but without the craziness of the island. Good detail on the survival of a plane crash. Heart wrenching at times. Kept me guessing even to the end. So glad Lillian had the courage to finally tell her secrets.

This story had me pulled in right from the beginning. I didn't feel as if I needed much of a foundation to learn about the characters prior to their trip/flight. The author developed her characters well enough, with obviously less development for less significant characters. This story had me feeling sick to my stomach sometimes, not because of anything disgusting, but because I could not imagine how I would react on an island in a similar situation. It is astonishing that the 2 main characters were able to survive as long as they did with that little food and lack of a variety of foods. It makes me wonder if there are people out there who have actually experienced a similar situation of being stranded on an empty island with very little variety of food. As I was about a little over halfway through the book I really believed that Lily and David were going to stay together if they ever made it off the island, but I was very shocked to find out that they both happily went back to their families. Overall, a great story and I highly recommend it. It isn't a very long or short book but I felt like I read it very fast! 4.5 stars from me <3
