Reckless Girls by Rachel Hawkins
4.0
Six strangers on a remote island in the South Pacific escaping reality. Cut off from civilization and all hiding something from their past, tensions arise between the 6 when a 7th and sketchy person joins them. Then things get extra creepy when one person is found dead and another is missing.
This book sucked me in from the beginning - 6 twenty somethings on a remote island living the good life, that alone was a fascinating dynamic. Plus, they clearly all have secrets and back stories and I just needed to know what was going to go wrong. I loved the flashbacks - it kept me wondering how all of these backstories were connected, and who was really the “evil” one. This one was super binge-worthy - I read it in a day. It’s a fast, fun read and would make the perfect beach read (or if you want to just pretend you’re on a beach since its winter that works too).
I went back and forth on formats and was extra impressed by the audiobook. The narrator was able to flawlessly cover all the characters with different accents and she nailed it!
Thanks to Macmillan Audio, St. Martin’s Press and NetGalley for the advanced copies.
