β’What did I think of this book? (Mult. Timeline POV)
This was a great summer read. Six people on a cursed island, everyone with a motive, an excuse to visit this shipwreck, and known cannibalism even with people going crazy isn't actually a vacation make. But that's what their looking for a place to unplug, relax, and forget. But, even Reckless Girls can't stay calm for 2 weeks.. Maybe Karma has finally come, and they can reclaim what is theirs; but everything has a price...and not everyone plays fair. I would recommend this, especially as a vacation read. π

β’Quotes:
~'In the After' -p.19
~ 'There will always be a before and an after, and you have to learn to live in the after.' -p.60
~ 'It still looks like paradise, but I know now that it's hell.'
