One Perfect Couple by Ruth Ware

4.0

Lyla research has stalled and she is pretty sure she won’t have a job shortly. So when her boyfriend Nico tells her they are being chosen to go on a new reality show “One Perfect Couple,” she finally allows him to convince her to do it. She is wary of the show and the show runners, but she will do this for Nico and hopefully get eliminated early. When a storm comes through and leaves only the contestants on the island, things begin to look dire. The boat hasn’t come back, and their water and food rations are dwindling. Will they survive being stranded on this island? 

 

Ruth Ware knows how to write a crazy thriller, and this one was no different! From the start this reality show seemed sketchy as hell, but it was worse than anyone could have expected. 8 people trying to ration the water and food they have of course led to mayhem and certain folks deciding they were “in charge.” I did this one on audio and I just could not stop listening to find out what was going to happen. This one kept me on my toes for sure and if you are looking for a fast paced thriller this summer I highly recommend! Though maybe don’t read it if you are vacationing on a deserted island!
