What a page-turner. The chapters were of appropriate length that kept you turning the pages for more and the suspense was delicious.
Not gonna lie there was a bit of a draggy part in between where it felt kind of predictable but other than that, the way the story was written had me turning the pages at lightning speed.
A bit confused why Theo didn’t have his own POV chapters, but I’d rather that than the author doing so just to be “fair” when they don’t add value to the story.

"How well do you know your friends?" - from Goodreads synopsis.
Two years ago I read The Wild Girls by this author and really enjoyed it so I jumped at the chance to read this one. I also love a vacation gone wrong story which made me eager to pick this one up too. It's not a spoiler to say that we know from page one that something has gone wrong and someone is dead, but that's all we know. Then we jump back in time to the beginning of the trip getting to know these two couples who are all friends and vacationing together. The author builds the tension in the book slowly but steadily. Because each chapter switches between one of the three main characters, we are able to learn some of the secrets and things that they are hiding from the others. It definitely helped add to the overall level of suspense. My one complaint was the ending which I didn't love. Obviously I'm not going to share spoilers here but it just didn't really hit for me like I think that the author intended. That's just a personal preference though - others might feel differently.
Readers looking for a suspenseful read perfect for beach reading should pick this book up. I preferred The Wild Girls if I was comparing the two, but thought that this was a solid fun read. Four stars overall.
Thanks to the publisher for my copy of this book. Honest thoughts are my own.
