I’m usually not too harsh when it comes to my book reviews, but this one was a tough read. It really dragged and put me into a reading slump, which usually never happens. There was really only one good twist that made me want to finish it, but that was after I was over halfway through with this book. I usually crave reading and can’t wait to get home to pick back up whatever I was reading the night before, but I honestly skipped reading most nights because of this book. I had to see it through until the end though. I enjoyed the premise of this book, but it was so slow, and so underwhelming for a book that was supposed to be a thriller.

This was a pretty interesting concept for a book, but it just didn't work for me. I felt the book was very slow paced and it seemed like nothing was really happening for majority of the book. For the most part, the twists were pretty predictable and a lot of the plot was either too far fetched or flat. This book didn't feel like a thriller to me. Really this book was just about an island of misogynistic men. It seemed to end very abruptly, though there was an epilogue.
