This book was about a crazy set of individuals on summer vacation. There’s a murder that happens. There is so much drama in this book I’m all for it!

This is definitely a character-based story with multiple POVs of their summer. It’s not a thriller; there just happens to be a dead body. 

I enjoyed each character's unhinged mess and how they are terrible people. 

I liked that we would get all sides of a story and see how the other characters interpreted an event—that was fun. 

I liked the twist at the end—it was very clever. It was slow at parts, but I did enjoy this!
