But the book also does a great job of understanding individuality and being satisfied with yourself before having the opportunity to lose yourself in a relationship, which I greatly appreciated.
Another thing is that this book has a MAJOR TW for suicide, mentions of suicide, and a suicide note, which is quite literally the first page, so PLEASE be cautious about this.

Anna is a young woman who loses her fiance to suicide. She is adrift in the aftermath - grieving the loss of him, of their life, of the future they'd planned. As a widow, myself, I really identified with a lot of the emotions Anna goes through and the actions she takes.
She decides to strike out on an ambitious sailing adventure that was really her fiance's dream. Along the way, she has adventures that feel real and accessible while still carrying the allure of an epic dream of travel. She also meets Keane Sullivan - an Irish sailor capable of seemingly anything. I loved their interpersonal development.
If you've ever dreamed of epic trips, of swimming with sea turtles, of finding yourself capable of more, or have had to navigate the world after loss,I think you might love this book as much as I did.
