3.5

This gets 3.5 because of the pace and the ending. At first the book was kinda slow-paced, but then as the story went on, it got faster. I did really like this book though, even though it got pretty morbid at the end

If you heard this book was sapphic and are picking it up solely because of that don’t. You need more information. That’s what I did and I was shocked and not in a pleasant way. 

The love story is not the main focus of the book seeing as it is not a romance and it is really barely there at all. Frankly, these girls have other, bigger things to worry about. 

This is a horror story with a lot of body horror and murder so just be prepared. An infection has spread through the girls on an island and changes their bodies in terrible ways. It is a little Lord of the Flies esque in the way that have to fight for food and survival, but their bonds with each other are stronger. 

I personally thought the ending was very satisfying and ended exactly how it needed too. However it is an ending that leaves interpretation to the reader so if you don’t like that don’t read this book.
