I definitely thought this is going to be different than what it was, but I still liked it. Ware always creates a locked room situation so well and this one being set on an island was perfect for the summer. This is just me being a love island girly but I wish we got a littttle more of that in the beginning. The suspense was great, the girl power even better! The second half definitely won me over!!

dark tense fast-paced

3.5

I gave this 3.5 stars because I read it pretty quickly. That said, it felt pretty predictable, which contributed to me being able to fly through it. I did appreciate the ending and always love stories of women banding together. Would be a fine beach or pool read as you can finish it in a few hours.

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!

Love Island and the Bachelor in Paradise meet And Then There Were None and Lost

honestly, it was a blast! as the other reviews say, this book isn't without its problems, but it's an escape. i was hooked and had a great time throughout, even if the twists weren't super twisty.

i was looking for a book with thrills and chills, and this book had them!

if you're looking for something to get you out of a reading slump, this just might be it!

Getting a copy of Ruth Ware's newest book is always one of the things I look forward to most, and this one was well worth the wait. With the exception of The Turn of the Key, which remains one of my favorite books of all time, this one may be my favorite of hers to date. It wasn't as much of a challenge to figure out where things were going, but the ride more than made up for that and even though I wasn't all that shocked by the ending, it was still really entertaining. The story played out like a movie in my mind as I was reading, and that's a gift that not a lot of authors possess. I cannot recommend this author highly enough and if you're looking to read one of her books for the first time, this one is a great place to start!
