This was precisely what I wanted to read after reading a few very slow-paced books.  I loved the mix of reality show participants and being stranded on a desert island.  Warning:  have a glass of water nearby while reading;  you'll feel dehydrated!

Synopsis:
   While trapped on a desert island a group of strangers there for a supposed dating show must survive, as a murder tries to take them out one by one.

Review:
    As to the ending, I knew something was hinky with the show they were supposed to be on, but not what it was exactly and I loved that final twist.
    The book was a bit long though, it seemed to drag in parts which is why it took me so long (for me) to read, there were days I didn't press play to listen because it was hard to get through. Though some of that may have been the subject matter, lots of murder, domestic abuse, and gaslighting, plus medical-type content i.e., dehydration and starvation.
   Overall a good book even if it was tough for me to read, it got into many topics that need to be discussed more.

Narrator Rating: 3.5 stars
  I always have mixed feelings about this narrator. She does a good job with tonal shifts and emotions, but sometimes her voice grates on me.
