Well-written. Love the cover!
At one point, I wanted to slap some sense into the Homeland Security guy who wanted to keep Liesbet out of the USA. I also love the dogs, Kali and Darwin. I might like them more than Mark, but that might have more to do with what happened in Central America than with him personally. Though, of course, taking his frustrations out on Liesbet instead of getting help isn’t counting in his favour. I think the wedding was as much as a surprise to Liesbet as to the reader. LOL.
Loads of fun to read. From the different travels, to relationship dynamics, to Liesbet’s growth, the story captivates.
The chapters about the dogs were heart wrenching. Every dog owner goes through that at some point and it never gets easier. So many ups and downs. I enjoyed the descriptive tours of the various islands and sailing life. Eight years! The average lifetime of a dog. I enjoyed this memoir and the photos of their island adventures.
