Cass, like the other Permanents, has run away to Koh Sang to escape her past and start anew. She's found close friends, a new fiancé, a beautiful island and a fabulous new hobby that's become her job, helping others learn to dive in gorgeous Thailand. But someone on the island knows about Cass' past, and isn't ready to let her forget it. And when a young woman dies under suspicious circumstances, Cass can't help but worry; did she kill that young woman? Or is this somehow connected to her past?

This story was predictable, but also insane.
Why would all of these people just agree to kill for each other? Just a real life, much darker, fight club?
Everyone has a terrible past, Cass somehow claims to do a bunch of Xanax but no one notices? If you want to read about a bunch of women getting their "comeuppance" from various angry dudes, this book is for you. Otherwise... maybe pass.

This was a 4 star read until the epilogue so of course I can’t tell you why. During the rest of the read however it kept me on my toes. 

Genuinely until the epilogue, this was gonna be a 3-4 star book, but that absolutely tanked it. The ~shocking twist makes sense but I’m genuinely so pissed off, Brooke deserves so much fucking better than that shit.
