This book also makes a budding queer relationship between a the son of one of the producers of the show and Alon (they/them) the local boy, with a strange connection to the island, who tries repeated to warn the Hollywood people to get off the island.
The horror element of the story was amazing written, vividly detailed and sufficiently creepy without being too much for the people who have a lower tolerance.
Also the twist! It was hinted at without being too obvious. I loved it.

1. The horror was fantastic, but there was too much repetition, too much of the same events happening over and over. This dulled the scare-factor for me as I became acclimated to experiencing the same moments over and over. I think there could have been a little more variety of events.
2. The romance felt rushed and forced into the book. The same emotional reaction could have been achieved with a platonic friendship.
