4.75 stars rounded up. I was actually really interested in this when I read that is compared to The Truman Show, which I have always loved the concept of. Now throw in some creepiness and horror and I am really intrigued. I actually received a physical copy of this as well and I think the audiobook was the way to go. The narrator set the tone perfectly ominous and the writing excelled when being read out loud. I was able to really feel how creepy everything and everyone was through the narrator, whereas the book didn't come off that way as much. I listened to this almost in one complete sitting, it was addictive and I had to know what in the world was going on. The ending twist was great and I really liked the explanation. This was such a Twilight Zone coded story, I absolutely loved it. The actual ending was a bit open ended, which I am not terribly fond of, but overall this was like The Truman Show meets Black Mirror and The Twilight Zone.

3.5 stars rounded up. This was definitely a fun and unique story. Exes run into each other at the airport on the way to a mutual friends wedding, flights are cancelled, and Wyatt offers to borrow and fly a small plane to get them to the wedding in time. Cue all the disasters. After crashing on an uninhabited island, the forced proximity has them reminiscing and rethinking about each other. This was like if Lost was just two characters and none of the crazy island stuff 😂 I enjoyed it but it was a bit slow for me. I felt like we got way too much island time and barely anything once afterwards. The ending was cute and I did enjoy that, I just think the book overall was just okay and was pretty much a walking red flag of miscommunications at every turn. It got kind of boring at times and I just wasn't fully invested in the characters.
