I loved The Mary Shelley Club and was excited to read this book but sadly it was not anywhere close to that level of brilliance. Lord of the Fly Fest was chaotic, repetitive and all over the place and did not have the same appeal as The Mary Shelley Club. If you are a fan of internet drama, makeup tutorials, music festivals, and influencer culture then I would suggest reading this book otherwise move along to another read.

Rafi Fransisco has paid $2000 for a ticket to the celeb laden Fly Fest, set with the idyllic backdrop of the Caribbean jungle and white sand beaches. However when the festival goers arrive, nobody that works for Fly Fest is to be seen and there are no villas or cocktails, no yachts or supermodels … what exactly is going on here?!
Hilarious in places with definite nods to Fyre fest and a bunch of popular podcasts, models and musicians. I loved all the stereotypical characters, the beauty influencers, privileged, rich, ’it girls’, jocks and famous musicians. Conversely as someone with a practically casper like complexion, I can identify with the horror at the lack of sunscreen, which only makes the writing more amusing to find a sprinkle of yourself in the wild personalities.
This is a really light and funny, satirical YA book. It was a nice break from some of the more heavy books/ audiobooks I usually consume, and I would recommend it for some lighthearted silliness, an exciting storyline and entertaining characters.
I totally warmed to Barrett Wibert Weed as the narrator, she has perfect humorous intonations and her various voices are great, really bringing the story to life. She definitely elevated this audiobook.

I have never read a book that was simultaneously hilarious and terrifying, and somehow this book did both. I think the reason the humor was so good was because Moldavsky took advantage of the weirdness of the situation (and the psyches of influencers) and just riffed on it. Even with my limited Lord of the Flies knowledge (I have never read the book or seen the movie if there is one), I still picked up on some references. The general descent into madness was fascinating and scary to read. All in all, this book was absolutely amazing and I hope the audiobook is just as good!
