I just don't know if thrillers are my genre. The premise of this sounded really interesting -- five strangers are recruited for a mysterious reality show with a multi-million dollar prize, and over the course of the book, we learn about the connections among these people and the show's mastermind. The execution fell a bit flat for me, unfortunately. I just didn't find myself particularly invested in any of the characters, even those that book clearly wanted me to root for. I could tell that the author wanted the twists and reveals to be shocking, especially as there was a "Hunger Games"-esque element to the live-streamed competition, but I just wasn't particularly interested in any of it.
