Rather repetitive and predictable, but I also kind of expected that somehow.

God this was so unrelentingly terrible. Terrible characters, terrible plot, terrible everything. And just terrible writing, somehow both repetitive and inconsistent, ugly and banal on a sentence level. Predictable, badly written, boring, meaningless. I honestly cannot believe that people can read this and tolerate it and that it got past editors in this state.

I listened to it on 2x speed while driving and doing errands and chores and I STILL wish I could get those 7 hours and 4 and a half minutes back. You could not pay me to read another book by Ruth Ware.

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!
