Poe and Zwe have been best friends since they were young children, and they have always been together. They've always had chemistry and a great relationship. When Poe finds herself in the middle of a writer's block, she decides to book an all-inclusive island vacation for both of them because she feels it will help her get back into writing her second novel.
Their arrival to the island is picturesque. They have big plans of relaxation, exploration, and adventure. They quickly find themselves in the middle of a hostage situation and have to work together to survive. Poe and Zwe's relationship and friendship are put through the ringer. As a reader, you really see the ugly parts of friendship. They say hurtful things to each other while also trying to survive on an island that they are not familiar with.
I really liked Poe and Zwe together. I enjoyed their push and pull between friendship and possible relationship development. I appreciated the realness of their relationship as well. Neither of them want to ruin their friendship, but they are so cute!
The middle of this book wasn't my favorite. There wasn't much going on besides Poe and Zwe arguing and Poe being jealous. It was fun at first, but after a while, it grew redundant and got old. I also thought the twist at the end was pretty apparent. There was a lot of commentary about rich people not caring about other people's spaces for their own enjoyment. I appreciated that topic as well.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me to read this book in return for an honest review.
