recommendations welcome + i’m willing to be flexible on the definition of desert island!
Does The Compound fit for this list? 🤔
ooh honestly yea i’ll add it!! even though it isn’t clear whether or not they’re on an island it def has desert island vibes
I can recommend Cast Away by Francesca de Tores for this list! It’s based on the true story of Alexander Selkirk, who inspired Robinson Crusoe.
oh thatd be perfect!! adding, thank you!
