If you love LOST for its survival storylines, then you'll love this! We have 2 incredible female protagonists, one trying to solve the mystery of her sisters 'death' and the other who is trying to survive her plane crashing on a deserted island! 🏝 
I loved the setting, the vivid descriptions of the beach, the heat, the island wilderness. And I loved the sisterly relationship that I relate to so much. It was a brilliantly paced book, with enough revelations to make you go Ooooh!
A great summer read! ☀️

Well, this book sucked.
Okay I’m going to try not to be 100% negative. But no, I didn’t enjoy this book.
This book was an average, three star, lacklustre thriller until I got to the end and it’s star rating took a nose dive out of the sky. Get it? Because they were in a plane crash? Ok…

So the book takes place from two perspectives, Lori and her sister Erin’s. As our story goes on I began to like Lori, she was resilient as all hell. But I never got attached to Erin, her character just wasn’t very interesting to me. So I spent her side of the book feeling quite detached. 
The pacing was a bit all over the place, if it were me I probably would have cut it down by 100 pages and made the pacing a bit more dicey!  
As I said I hated the ending, but not everyone will! 
Basically I thought this book sucked but I don’t wanna make out that this is the worst book I’ve ever read or anything. It’s not even the worst I’ve read all year! 
🐙🐙/5
