Ruth Ware's books are usually hit or miss for me, but One Perfect Couple fell pretty squarely in the middle of the road.
Lyla has been doing post-doctoral research for years now, and she doesn't know where her career is going to go from here. So when her boyfriend and aspiring actor, Nico, suggests the two of them enter a reality TV competition called "The Perfect Couple," Lyla decides to take the leap and try out. The two of them are swept away to a remote island to participate with four other couples, but from the get go, the process and the show itself seem sort of... suspicious. It doesn't take long for things to outright start going wrong, and soon enough, the group is cut off from the rest of the world with not much hope for escape or help. They have to survive together before they all die from dehydration, starvation, or something much worse.
I thought the concept behind this novel was quite intriguing, and I always love a good Agatha Christie-esque story. The story took a while to take off, but in the last 25% of the novel, I was on the edge of my seat. Though One Perfect Couple was somewhat predictable, it still had a decent plot with character traits I don't usually see in thriller novels.
