3.5

Liane Moriarty definitely knows how to write compelling stories. I’m still amazed that I not only kept up with all nine characters + the resort staff, but I also became invested in their stories. The dialogue was witty, the premise was interesting, the social commentary was excellent, and the whole book was unlike anything I’ve read before. I was compelled to keep turning the pages. I just kept waiting for something *more* to happen, and I didn’t really get that satisfying feeling.

A very long and slow build up to what then feels like a whole bunch of random and chaotic things thrown in the end.
