You Can Trust Me
by Wendy Heard
"Some men liked the idea of a spontaneous, bohemian girl as long as she didn't challenge them in the wrong ways. It was that manic pixie dream girl thingy they purported to like until she had opinions or desires that conflicted with their own."
You Can Trust Me is the story of, Summer and Leo, two women who are technically homeless and make a living on pick pocketing and long cons. Their lives have been going alright when Leo meet Michael Forrester, a billionaire with a private island, who becomes her next target. While they are having a whirlwind weekend, Michael takes Leo to his private island where she loses contact with Summer. Summer, becoming concerned for her friend, convinces one of Michael's colleagues to bring her to the investor weekend on the island to find Leo. When Summer arrives, however, Leo is nowhere to be found and Michael is denying bringing her to the island at all. As the weekend progresses, Summer becomes sure Leo was at the island but can't figure out what happened to her and she definitely doesn't trust Michael.
This novel is a great summer thriller. It has all the beachy, missing person, murder vibes and keeps you hooked because it is hard to believe that a charismatic, climate friendly, billionaire can be a bad guy who plays mind games. I really enjoyed the setting of this novel and was able to make vivid pictures to the island in my head based on Wendy Heard's descriptions. I really with it was a place I could visit!
This was a fun, quick read and should definitely be added to your summer thriller list. 3.5/5 stars rounded up!
