What a gripping book, I was hooked reading about the shady dealings of the wealthy and elite (and those trying to be the wealthy and elite). I liked how the end tied in nicely with some parts in the middle of the book, as well as the non-linear narrative that was similar to Memento.

I LITERALLY LIVE FOR THIS DRAMA 😎
I binged this book in less than a day omg it’s so addicting and binge-worthy!!!
in the way the story is written, it’s not clear at first what kind of story this is going to be, but BOY was it absolutely clear by the end!! I loved the lil mysteries and clues scattered throughout the book, and putting them together made me feel like such a super sleuth 🤓
and can we talk about the setting?? I would live on the mediterranean in a heartbeat if I could ☀️ from having traveled there, I loved the stunning backdrops of italy and saint-tropez!!
it gave the story exactly what it promised - riches, glamor, and soooo many secrets!
this is the perfect summer thriller to binge while sipping cocktails poolside 🍹 now onto the siren!!

One of my favorite books of the year and SO underrated. Why haven’t I heard more about this book?? Literally impossible to put down. A yacht in the south of France, a vacation turned sinister, old white billionaires being taken down by millennial women…I’ll take it.
