I enjoyed this one, a dark, twisty, sexy book about the most bizarre people trapped on a remote island. Part mystery, part literary fiction, the island itself feels alive throughout this story. The characters each have their own secrets, from the mundane to the absolute bat shit crazy 😆 I quite enjoyed this meandering tale, it's short, impactful and satisfying from start to finish. 

I do think if everyone just had a single conversation the first day they met this whole plot could have been avoided hahaha but where is the fun in that?
