The adventure is amazing, the book is a 7/10 (read it last year) and the movie is very disappointing.
As said, the main actress was more concerned with looking pretty and smiling, the music was awful, the soap opera vibe was everywhere, there was almost no real tension with all the situation...
Some parts are not in the book, were created to romanticize some scenes.
The best part of the movie is the ending with some real scenes of Jess arriving home.
Overall, I feel that the adventure itself was not explored as it should be. The loneliness, the sailing, the danger, her routine...
It was more like a teenager "you can do what you want" movie than an adventure movie.
