Ok, I didn't hate this book, but I didn't think it was that great either. I figured out that Chloe was Eliza almost as soon as Chloe was introduced. I also figured out that Amma's boyfriend was the drunk driver pretty early on as well. Given that, the only real reveal left was what Lux would do when confronted with the truth and clues to the fact that she chose herself were dropped pretty obviously throughout the book. It also annoyed me that there are some pretty glaring holes in the plot. Chief among them is how Lux got away if she didn't have a radio? Wasn't the missing radios the whole reason they stayed on the island longer than they expected to? 

I will say that I think the premise and setting of this book are great. I was just disappointed that it wasn't twistier and was kind of obvious
