I like Ware's stuff because it's varied and I don't have to think too hard. I really liked the premise of this book, and while I could see the twists coming from afar, I still had fun reading it. I never go into Ware's books expecting a whole lot of realism and maybe that helps, but I find her books creative and honestly kind of wild. I never know what to expect. My biggest critique of this book is that it felt like character introductions were rushed and it took me a lot of time to figure out who was who.

Enjoyed this book SO much!!  I loved the setting and the characters were well written and didn't feel flat.  The plot was well paced and I truly ate this up!! I personally enjoyed the
satisfying way it wrapped up in the end. Nothing felt left out in the end, or too obvious as far as foreshadowing. 
It isn't THE MOST shocking plot twist in my opinion but the story was wild and right up my alley.  I really appreciated that it wasn't super graphic with the violence as well.

This one was hard to rate - I was SO excited for it because I love Ruth ware but I just wasn’t really feeling this one. I did like the ending, I didn’t not like it - but I didn’t love it like I have all her other books. So for me, this is a three (I normally listen to this is like two days, but it took me three months to finally finish it) - BUT I can see the argument for it being a five star rating for someone else so I rounded up. I do think if you like survival books with a bit of lord of the flies like behavior when stuck on a deserted island than this 1000% for you. I have friends and patrons at work who I would enthusiastically recommend this book to. But it wasn’t really for me. Well written as always, interesting characters, and Imogen Church is a PHENOMENAL narrator.
