Thank you NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review. I started this book with no expectations, just a love of thrillers and YA fiction. I really struggled to get into this book. Usually thrillers and YA have something in the intro and beginning chapters that really hook you, but this book started with a lot more metaphorical language (which after reading it, I realized in the acknowledgements that the author has written poetry before so some of that makes sense; however, it still didn’t make the intro any more exciting in my opinion.)
I gave this book an honest 3 stars. It wasn’t bad, it just dragged on in the beginning especially and didn’t contain as much excitement as it could have. I guessed the “twist” from about 30% into the book so the mystery element was lacking to me. I didn’t love the main character, and I didn’t feel any more connected to her after I learned more about her past. Booker was the only character that I felt connected to, and I enjoyed his persona in the story. All in all, it wasn’t my favorite book, but it was a mystery worth reading (especially if you’re ever on vacation to an island during hurricane season!)
