Summary
When her boyfriend bails at the last minute, a New York woman embarks on their couples’ cruise alone to find that maybe the person she was supposed to fall in love with was herself.
After a string of bad dates and no prospects, Sophia Othonos has finally hit the jackpot: an actual nice guy. When he suggests a romantic getaway, she’s sure they’re about to take the next step toward their future. A rustic cruise to the Galápagos Islands isn’t exactly her idea of a vacation, but Sophia is ready for anything…until her boyfriend has to cancel.
Now she’s all alone on a trip that was meant for two. Sophia finds herself at a crossroads about who she is, what she wants, and whether her relationship is really everything she thought. But if she’s going to suffer an identity crisis, at least she gets to do it amid the unexpected majesty of nature.
Eight days of wild, unobstructed beauty are enough to make anyone reevaluate their life. These islands are all about adapting to your surroundings—and change just might be what Sophia needs most of all.

Critic reviews
“Narrator Erin Bennett gives a great performance, delving into Sophia's ruminations with excellent pacing and varying tones that reveal her feelings about her life as it is now and how she got there. The Galapagos Islands become the force of nature that helps Sophia decide what her future will look like. The story is short, but the effects of Bennett's performance may persuade listeners to check in with their own lives and feelings.” —AudioFile Magazine

What a con by Amazon full price for a short story
I loved the story but to charge full price for a short is a con shame on you Amazon. Love Elin Hildebrand. Unfortunately not the price for a short!
