BOOK REVIEW: Natural Selection by Elin Hilderbrand


This short story written by New York Times Bestselling Author Elin Hilderbrand was on the Amazon list of great reads for August so I picked it up. I am used to Hilderbrand’s fantastic summer beach reads. 
This was not one of them. 

I know a short story does not allow time for great character development, and I accept that. But this seemed rushed. Written in the present tense, it covered large blocks of time  in few sentences. 

Here is the gist: young, naive woman and her boyfriend plan a trip to the Galapagos. Boyfriend packs his camera and has a list of wildlife photos he wants to shoot. At the airport, he is called home on a family emergency. But he insists she go on the trip alone.  

 Not one of my favorite Hilderbrand’s, but still worth reading the main character’s journey.
