Meh. Too many ideas. Mav is super irritating and Adele a compelling lead but all the different POVs made basically everyone frustrating. The idea of the book was okay, but I've read other thrillers on islands with similar beats that were much more surprising. And the end! Is it supposed to be a cliffhanger or something? Another chapter would have been helpful there I thought. Underwhelming mashup of domestic thriller meets reality streaming show content.
