I was bored at first because it felt like not much was happening except Summer being such a royal pain, I genuinely cannot stand her character. But the plot twist was quite shocking and I like that. I really don't like anyone in this book except Grace who's not even a main character and Eric (kind of). I was so mad at how reckless Belle is, her being undercover but also acting impulsively stressed me out sooooo much. Amaethyst too, I get it her character is bold and all but I just cannot seem to like her. Obviously the most hated character is definitely Summer. I enjoyed the twist though but the downfall of John and Summer felt short-lived it would've been nice if it has a bit of epilogue.

Honestly, Summer is probably one of my favorite villains ever.

It was a quick and easy read. Perfect for summer and interesting enough to keep my attention.

Bunch of rich people shit for 80%. I hated all of them. Stupid and impossibly impossible shit happens and somehow it ends.

This was a little slow to start and then picked up and had a few surprises I didn’t see coming and then dropped off again with an ending that felt a little confusing and anticlimactic. Overall a decent beachy thriller.
