Format: ebook 
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thriller May continues with Ms Ware’s upcoming release One Perfect Couple! After learning the premise was a group of reality tv show contestants stranded on a remote island, I was a little nervous this was going to be a carbon copy of her One by One but in the sun instead of a snowy setting. I have to say though, I was very pleasantly surprised with this book!

Ware’s more recent releases have been a little flat for me but I probably liked this the most out of her last 4 or 5 books. I wouldn’t say it is a shocking thriller full of surprising twists, but it definitely had me anxious and determined to find the outcome for our characters on the island. I think it would have been better if it was a smidge tighter/about 30-40 pages shorter, but overall a good read!

I would absolutely recommend this book for folks who enjoyed the TV show Lost or the girl power vibes in The Last Housewife.
