i think an issue i find myself frequently having with thrillers is that they take forever to get to the climax/twist and then everything comes unraveled in a few pages that make the connections feel rushed. I was definitely not expecting the girlboss plot twist this story would take (and that trick with the names was quite clever, albeit confusing)-credit where credit is due to alice feeney, she knows how to write a shocking twist! overall, i had difficulty getting through the book at times because i found the all of the narrators somewhat insufferable (grady the most, which I gather was the point)
I think the plot about women who had been so wronged by men then turning around to solely use them for profit was a really unique and compelling idea at the core of this novel, and i wish we had gotten to learn more about this society beyond just the few pages of explanation we got from kitty at the end. i think the messaging feeney was developing through the construction of this island could be even stronger if it was expounded on further through showing the readers the ins and outs of the island in more detail, rather than having a character explain the history in a rushed manner. i think without more detail/built up backstory, the twist itself felt a little farfetched. however, the last 1/4 of the book was fast paced and had me on the edge of my seat, wanting to know what was going on on this crazy island!

What a read! I really enjoyed this read from start to finish! I loved the twist and the island and how it all came about. I also loved Alice Feeney and how descriptive she is. She is amazing at sucking me into a book and slowly unwinding the story and who the characters are and their backstory. I love her books and really enjoyed this book and the message this book brought.
Now a little bit about the book- I loved the two POVs (Grady and Abby). I love the unique setting ( a community on an island) this really just made it even more mysterious. I didn’t see the twist coming to the degree that they did so I'm very pleased with this book. I loved a good twist at the last pages!!!
Definitely a must read for thriller fans!
