So slow. Endless days and nothing happening. It had so much potential in the premise but it took so long to get to the point I got bored and started skipping ahead.

A woman serves a kind of house arrest in a monkey sanctuary that turns out to be more like a sort of cult. The story is well told and the important details are revealed at just the right points to keep you hooked and wanting to read more. It's not exactly laugh our loud funny but has comic moments and is certainly entertaining enough.

This would have been so great if it had been campier, but alas. It is supposed to be a mystery, but the characters are parodies.

be gay! run a cult! maybe a drug ring? who knows!

“florida woman” was funny and unhinged, much like regular florida women but make it a thriller. i was pleasantly surprised at how good this book was. i started it out thinking it was going one way and then the plot twist came. it really drew me in and i felt like i could read this non-stop. there was a great balance between it being predictable and unpredictable which i appreciate in thrillers so 5/5 for that.

i can’t give it a full five stars because i wish the pacing was a bit better. i feel like the first half was a bunch of nothing but the second half HIT THE GAS PEDAL. such an insane ending but i’m happy with it. perfect read to start out march!

3.5. I came into this book with no expectations. Stilted dialogue and a slow start tested my patience, and I thought the MC was clueless for a little too long, but it ultimately picked up and proved itself to be one of the most unique books I’ve read lately in terms of plot.

This was such a twisted and unique thriller. The tone and pov were very captivating and the plot perfectly captures the cultism and weird beauty of Florida. This was excellent

Not an altogether terrible read, but I was bored for a while and the ending was predictable.
