challenging dark tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix

What a gripping book, I was hooked reading about the shady dealings of the wealthy and elite (and those trying to be the wealthy and elite). I liked how the end tied in nicely with some parts in the middle of the book, as well as the non-linear narrative that was similar to Memento.

One of my favorite books of the year and SO underrated. Why haven’t I heard more about this book?? Literally impossible to put down. A yacht in the south of France, a vacation turned sinister, old white billionaires being taken down by millennial women…I’ll take it.
