Terribly predictable. Leo's backstory was interesting at least. But once I put it together, I knew exactly where it was going.

Really enjoyed this one! Haven’t had a thriller make me want to trade sleep for reading in awhile.

This book had me hooked from the beginning. Summer and Leo are best friends drifting through life in California. Professional small time con artists, the girls are looking to score, & they’re looking to score big. When a big time scam goes wrong, the girls lives hang in the balance, and some devastating secrets are unveiled.

While I did predict some of the bigger twists, this book was fantastically written and kept me wanting more. I finished this book in 24 hours because I could not put it down, it’s that good! I will definitely be reading more books by Wendy Heard in the future!

Did I pick up this book purely because of the cover? Yes, yes I did. And I am not disappointed in that either.

This was such a fun, fast paced, gripping thriller. It is a perfect summer thriller. I love that this was told from two female perspectives. The way that the author tangled these two together along with different time periods really helped you understand how they came to be such close friends. Though this was a thriller, I really enjoyed the found family aspect of it. I love a good book with strong female characters just trying to live their life. While the twist in this book wasn't jaw dropping, I really enjoyed the way the author took the book.

This was the first book I have read by this author and I absolutely will be picking up more by her!

Thank you PRHA for the gifted copy. All opinions are my own.

Thank you to Bantam Books, NetGalley, and Wendy Heard for the advance reader copy in exchange for an honest review. This book will be available June 13, 2023 and I won’t be surprised if it’s a Reese Witherspoon book club pick. A hot summer thriller with that “stuck on an island” trope. I liked a lot of things about this book: friendship, feminism, and survival.
