I won an ARC of this book through Goodreads! This is a fun and well written thriller. A perfect summer beach read. I was drawn in immediately and didn’t want to put it down! It’s like Crazy Rich Asians meets your favorite murder mystery.

I thought this book was going to go a different route. Once I got into it and realized it wasn't going that way I struggled to pay attention.

The total disregard these people had for their safety while traveling abroad was astounding and baffling. 

I hated every character for so many different reasons. 

It is an easy read and would probably be a nice beach read for someone who is looking for something easy and a bit mysterious to take up time in the sun.

Really slow start but really picks up in the last third of the book
