I hate to give such a low rating to a book before it’s published, but I just can’t bring myself to rate any higher. Too bad, because I remember really loving Rock Paper Scissors!

First of all (and I know this is an ARC), I feel like this still needs some editing. There are a few discrepancies, and some things that just don’t make much sense when the twists are revealed. 

Secondly, I had a hard time relating to the MCs. I didn’t really get a sense of their marriage/relationship/chemistry. This was something I noted before the twists and actually made more sense once some of them are revealed, but it made for an unemployable read wherein I found I didn’t care much what happened to them. 

I was confused about the size of the island too, enough that it took me out of the story at times. It was mentioned a few times that it’s only 6 miles long and 5 miles wide. But Grady got lost hiking up some mountains he had to drive over the island to get to? This and pretty much the whole premise of the big twist made it really hard to suspend disbelief with this whole book. 

Thank you to the publisher for the ARC to review. All opinions are my own.
