Beneath the Marigolds by Emily C. Whitson

5.0

This story captivated me in the beginning all way to the end! The twists, turns and unexpected plot twists. The story centers around Reese Marigold, who disappeared after spending a month at Last Chance Retreat, an exclusive singles retreat on Phaux Island, off the coast of Hawaii. When Reese had been missing for thirty-one days, her friend Ann Stone, a corporate attorney, knows something terrible has happened to her friend, and she is determined to go to the island and find out what happened to Reese. After checking into Last Chance, Ann soon discovers that the resort is more than what it claims to be, it has the feel of a reality dating show like the Bachelor / Bachelorette. The story is intriguing and easy to read. It is setup in dual perspectives between Reese’s time on island and Ann’s time on the island. At the end their timelines sort of come together. Great book! Many thanks to NetGalley for the Audiobook. All opinions expressed in this review are my own
