Majority of the book follows the 6 people while they run amuck on a deserted island. All of the mystery/thriller elements are left to the very end.
I did like the bits of flashbacks we got, it helped to shed light on everyone's motives.
There are some gigantic plot holes...
Also, how did Lux get off the island by herself? She didn't have a radio and she doesn't know how to sail? Again, makes no sense.
I don't think that the epilogue added to the story. We are just meant to believe that Lux has continued what Brittany and Chloe schemed? It makes sense for her to make off with the cash and start new, but not this vigilante thing.
The narrator for the audio is very good.

Brittany's whole family died in a tragic accident. She is mourning their loss with her friend Amma. Amma and Brittany met at grief counseling. Amma lost her boyfriend. They are traveling the world and grieving their losses.
When they get to the island Jake and Eliza are already there. Jake and Eliza have recently reconnected after a long separation. They're working on rekindling a romance that died many years ago.
There is not a single likeable character in the book. Every time that you start to cheer for someone a new dark secret comes out that makes them unlikeable again. Easily readable, but probably easily forgetable to.
