This is *chef's kiss* summer reading perfection. A thriller written beautifully, with respectful disibility representation, and an honest look at domestic violence.  A Love Island meets Lord Of The Flies-I wouldn't read this at the beach, but it was brilliant for a sweaty work day doing summer chores.  There were twists and turns and such strong women, I was mad when I had to stop the audiobook to interact with people. 5 stars- fully recomend.
...
TW: mentions of suicide, mentions of depictions domestic violence and abuse, depictions of withholding medication (insulin), death of characters, survival.

Least fave book from this author I've read so far. Idk it started off good, but it was too long for the story she told. It dragged too much at times since there wasn't a real mystery to solve, & everything was way too obvious.

You know when you read a book and it feels more like if you’re watching a TV show? that’s exactly the feeling I had while reading this! After reading, I felt like I had been watching survivor or something of the like- A love couple reality TV gone wrong where the contestants are to fend for themselves struck on an island with no communication with the outside world.

I also love how the women stayed with each other, and tried to help Zana despite her situation of domestic abuse by that point who wasn’t taking their help. They stayed united through everything, Specially Lyla, Angel & Santana. She also successfully wrote a survival thriller with a diabetic woman and NOT kill her the easy way right away- Santana fought for dear life until the end of the book.
