I’m not a reality TV fan but everyone on booksta was reading this and I got FOMO.

Very entertaining and engrossing, and Lucy Boynton’s narration was excellent, but
it felt like the tension built and built to…kind of nothing?

Ate this up and loved how it blended current social commentary with dystopian-ish reality tv

I was entertained and captivated but kept waiting for more to happen. I’m extremely unsatisfied with the ending. While there were tense elements I would not call this a thriller.

This would make for an interesting book club read/discussion!

Love Island to its most dystopian, late -capitalism, horrific extreme.
