WHITE LOTUS VIBES!!! I know a lot of people have marked this as a DNF but I really enjoyed this debut!
Don’t go in thinking that this will be a super twisty, edge of your seat, thriller because it’s just not that. This read is more of a slow burn and a lot of character development to unravel all of the lies and hidden agendas.
The whole time I was reading it, I was envisioning ‘The White Lotus’ and it definitely helped get me through any parts that felt a bit slow or repetitive. I think this novel would be great as an HBO show and also I feel like we need a sequel because that epilogue??? Hello?

This was a DNF from me.
The author was trying too hard and being too intentional with the way she was writing the book. She wanted to force what she wanted you to feel onto you while you read. Each twist was repeated multiple times which just made it very jolting. The backstory of the people on the island was excessive - none of it moved the plot ahead which just made it feel like I was pushing through to get somewhere. The amount of repeating how worried characters were about getting "found out" was annoying - I just wanted to suggest therapy to everyone.
