Whoa, just saw in the other thread that this is one of ours, and a book that we've talked about for awhile. I never realized it was about this topic.
Are you sure it's erotica? Because as someone who has read Lolita, I'm not necessarily opposed to this sort of thing, but it is kind of squicky for me if it is done to be titillating. I do find it interesting that the teacher is actually a woman. Reading the
full summary, though, makes me more intrigued. It would all depend on how the relationship was handled and portrayed.
As weeks become months, the castaways encounter many obstacles including violent tropical storms, the many dangers lurking in the sea, and the looming possibility that T.J.’s cancer could return. But as their bond grows stronger with each passing birthday, Anna begins to wonder if the biggest challenge of all might be living with a boy who is gradually becoming a man.
Actually, reading this it sounds like the relationship takes place when they're both older before it turns sexual, which changes things. Sounds pretty interesting, honestly.
I'm going to have to check this one out. I love survival stories.
